The guitar in his hand vibrated with the soft strumming. Gentle notes sent shivers up his spine a longing to his heart.
His skilled fingers deftly picked out the chords as his lips softly sang the words.
Light filtered through the curtains and glittered of the strings of the instrument and his chestnut hair. The soft breeze added it's melody to the song as it played with the curtains and the loose strands of brown.
The song ceased and Duo leaned back into the arms of the chair and sighed.
The song enchanted him to no end. Another sigh was released into the small room as he began to fall deep into his thoughts.
Truth be told the song didn't seem to have been written by him. His songs were energetic with riffs and loud lyrics.
Not captivating and full of untold emotion.
He had written only a handful of songs like this and each time it left him feeling as if someone else was guiding his hand and mind.
Though it sounded crazy even to him, Duo believed the statue had more of a role in the music than he.
Chuckling to no one but himself, Duo got up and put away his guitar. He headed for the door but changed his mind halfway.
Turning on his heel he grabbed his guitar case and walked out the door.

"Hello again lonely. Looks like I've gone off the deep end and have made friends with stone. I always was a little crazy anyway.
I hope you don't mind me calling you lonely but it fits, and as far as I know statues don't have names except one's like David.
You're a lot better than those though, I wonder why they put you in such a hidden place.
By the looks of it no one has been here for years other than me. No wonder you're lonely."
Duo could of sworn those stone eyes were talking.
The look they gave him seemed to say, you're right, I have been alone for so long but thanks to you I'm not alone any more.
Duo smiled at the thought that he had been the one to ease another's hurts even if that person was a statue.
"I just finished a song. I don't think I wrote it though. It's like some others I've written but they all seem to have been written by someone else.
Actually if I didn't know better I'd swear you had written it. It seems just like you. Would you care to listen to it?"
Since he heard no complaints Duo pulled out his guitar and played a few practice chords. Relaxing on the aged boulder he hummed softly and began to play.
I've been feeling lonely,
Cause you don't even know me.
I can hardly find my breath.
I sold my halo,
In early April,
Feel as cold as death.
Nothing left to sell.
I cannot fly since I fell,
But no one is here for me to tell.
You can't see me
Hear me, feel me
I can't even cry
I've lost my sunrise,
I've no place in your eyes,
Should I even try?
I see you fly by,
In the blue sky,
You take me up with you.
Without warning,
Here comes morning
I can't believe it's true
I'm happy when I'm with you.
The last strain of the guitar faded away and Duo opened his eyes. He forced himself to blink as he stared in shocked awe.
The statue was gone. All that remained was a stone sword and scythe nearly covered in moon flowers.
Between the two weapons was a pair of intertwined roses, one red, the other white.
Duo felt a dampness trail down his cheek before he lifted his finger to catch a tear.
He was crying over a statue? It wasn't alive, it couldn't be his friend. Duo stood up and packed away the old instrument before taking one last look at the peaceful weapons.
His footsteps were heavy as his heart even though logic would have told him he had no reason to feel so.
As his figure faded in the distance a single rain drop fell on the two roses before they turned to stone and became one.
