he loner wanted to be alone,

always surrounded by people,

 

The loner wore a mask,

as a ritual,

crippled, felt the loner,

for having two faces.

 

The loner now felt lonely,

Still seeking solitude,

was he a loner or lonely?

Numb he was,

and diseased,

When he found a lonely girl,

The girl removed his mask,

cleansed his scar face, 

And they formed a ‘lone-pair’.
