Fingers calloused to the bone,
he plays his guitar
as a getaway.
Quiet eyes that you lose yourself in
...
She holds it all inside
she’s afraid
to let it all out. Like a fire
inside her heart
...
His words kept alive
hidden in a treasure box.
But he’s numb
on the inside. When he cries,
...
Have you ever felt that feeling?
inadequacy.
unloved.
unwanted.
...
Breath gets caught in my chest.
Gasp.
Just breathe in deep.
Stay strong

Fingers calloused to the bone,
he plays his guitar
as a getaway.
Quiet eyes that you lose yourself in
you see the beauty
that he thinks goes unnoticed.
Scared as a mouse
that boy stole your heart
and yet he doesn’t even know it.
A timid mouth,
he thinks before he speaks.
A mysterious confidence
hidden behind a shyness
you don’t understand.
He’s the boy you think
you’ve always needed
but you’re too
scared,
just as he is.
