When Broken Worlds Collide: A love story.

Like a bird who wasn't given wings
I sit alone... waiting for a change
I watch as the world, passes me by
but my cruel days are always the same.

My beautiful face seems to
be the only thing that matters.
I am a seashell, pretty,
yet empty inside.

I watch others play with envy,
"Why couldn't that be me?"
But none of them are to blame
I'd be the first to get rid of me...

I hate how my face is
always frozen, like a mask.
Your smile is so pretty, they say.
To me, it feels painted on.

I went down to the stream
Where I go to be alone
That is where I first saw her,
Hugging her knees, on her own.

Sitting at the river,
like calls like.
I never thought being alone
would be frightening, but I saw him.

She was beautiful as ever
Her face has no comparison
but why is she all alone?
Too nervous to begin questioning.

"Can I help you?"
Were the first words
I had ever uttered without
Needing to fake a smile.

"Just enjoying the view"
I muttered trying not to choke
I do not deserve her company
She must think of me as a joke

"If you plan on asking for
A favor, just spit it out."
People never understand
Who I really am, just my body.

"i require no favors..
Just maybe a little company?"
I truly must be insane
to think she'll stick around with me

"Sit down. I don't bite."
I wonder who this is.
He has gall, and I like that.
"What's your name?"

sitting down immediately
Hypnotized by her eyes
Quickly saying, "my name's Justin"
Failing to hold back a smile

The smile that appeared on his face
lit up my world. Turning my
Blushing face away, I hid a small grin.
"My name's Mearl. Like Pearl. With an M."
Why am I babbling?

"So what brings you here?"
Am i conquering my fears?
She hasn't up and ran away
but her real intentions are unclear.
"I got tired of being followed and faking.
What about you?"
Is he afraid of me? There is
An unreadable emotion in his eyes.

"I have nothing to run from, or to.."
When I did, I was only abused
And their actions left stains on my mind
Like a series of unwanted Tattoos..

Blushing, I answer far too quickly.
"You could run to me." I hide my face
In my crossed arms, hoping that
Maybe I'm not rushing myself into something.

Against my will, I let out a smile
"Maybe I will next time I feel vile,
And I’ll be here for you whenever you need a friend"
I pray to God that this feeling doesn't end...

My face is still blushing.
"Thank you for promising to be
there in the future." But he
said only as a friend...Why does it hurt?

"And thank you for being my company,
You probably have lots else to do..."
She came here by herself you idiot
You make yourself seem like a fool.

I was actually trying to run away
From my fan group. Are you trying
To get rid of me?" Is my presence that revolting?
It must be, since he already wants to leave.

“No I just didn’t think you’d want to be
With some lonely guy, as ugly as me..."
Why would you say that, what a bad move.
In this silly game of love, you'll always lose.

Confusion flits across my face.
"I don't think that you're ugly,
and you're not lonely anymore."
What I say sounds like a crappy romance.

I looked into her eyes intently
No longer feeling like I was a loner
But I snapped into reality instantly
When I realized that I just kissed her.

Frozen into place, I try to
Figure out what just happened.
At a loss for words, the only
Thing I do is kiss him back.

At first it was complicated
But then I stopped debating it
The kiss that made me fall in love
Just hoping she isn't faking it.

He had eyes that I could drown in,
But I hoped he didn't have an
Ulterior motive. "Why are you
kissing me? Don't be offended, but why?"

"Because I am foolish man,
One who listens to his heart."
First positive thought in years.
I wasn't doomed from the start.

A smile creeps up on my face,
the first genuine one in years.
"You aren't foolish, and you have
a good heart. One of the strongest."

"Well my good heart is alone,
And it takes two to make a pair.
So maybe yours can be with mine
So we can live without a care"

"I wouldn't mind leaving all
Of this, for an eternity with
You. You don't need to be alone
Anymore, as long as I'm with you."

I smiled really wide
As I got lost into her eyes
Now my heart is at peace
With an angel at my side.

Sitting next to him, a hole
that I never knew existed in me
is filled. I could die now and
be happy with no regrets.

Their worlds were now intertwined.
Lost in each other’s love they will find,
Even though life has been far from fair,
All they need is each other to survive."
