She was always the same

Never changing,

And the number of her admirers 

Was always ranging.

He was always different

One day liking one,

The next something else

To him it was fun.

She was always depressed

Hiding it with a smile,

Keeping from her friends

Of what they would think vile.

He was always cheerful

Laughing loudly, 

Everyday around the corner

And sitting proudly.

She liked him

He did not know,

And when he would

He'd be in woah.

The two were opposites

They met once at a cafe,

The girl smiled at him

But the boy looked the other way.

She stood up

Her heart suddenly breaking,

She ran away with tears

Her heart then was always aching.

He noticed but didn't follow her

He knew he wasn't right for her,

For she seemed better than him in every way

But her secrets no one could infer.

She cried by the river that night

Watching the water shine and pass,

Thinking about how much it reminded her

Of beautiful stained glass.

He laughed less the next day

Worried about the girl,

Long hair cascading down her back

Her eye like a sparkling pearl.

But behind every pair of eyes

Is a secret that must be unfolded,

And destroyed only

By which it had been molded.

She disappeared from the world

The only one who remembered was the boy,

Who kept her in his heart even though her feeling he did not return

His memory had not wanted to destroy.

Everyone forgot

Her smile her face,

And everything about her

Which seemed to fill the now empty space.

The boy was mad

Everyone had forgotten,

About the girl

Who had skin as soft as cotton.

He yelled her name aloud

Not caring,

For everyone who that he was crazy

After just once staring.

It was useless

She was gone,

She had not been seen 

Since dawn.

A few days after

Everything went back to normal,

Except for the boy

Who was suffering the abnormal.

As soon as he found out

He soon made plans to do the same as she,

He would create a plan

Which would set him free.

Everything went as planned

He disappeared too,

But this time people took notice

Yet could not figure out his taboo.

He had made it himself

The night he thought he was mad,

Walking aside the road

In a black outfit clad.

The police soon found them

Both lying on the ground,

Next the river

Where their fate had been bound.

They soon met again holding hands

Both wearing white,

Smiles on their faces

With halos just as bright.
