Phoenix star

Underneath the swagger and charm,
there’s a soul who’s been harmed,
and the scars he carries in his heart
make it hard for him to build a new start.

Behind a fragile-looking shell,
there’s a soul who’s been through hell,
but she swears that they were wrong,
and promises herself that she’ll stay strong

Could these two hearts make a pair
if they happened to meet somewhere,
or would their pain just be too great
for them to change their lonesome fate?

But for their sake, I hope and pray
that there’s relief and healing on that day.
