Untouchable Is He
By Ael L. Bolt
~~~~~~
Genre: Angst/Poetry
Rating: PG for mention of suicide
Summary: This is an actual song I've written in response to JKR's OotP. It
really doesn't require that you know the tune, or even that I say who it's
about. I'm sure you can pick up on it.

He walks down the street
They point and stare
He's got no one
Nobody cares
With a throne of ice
He looks down at them
And says, "Would it kill you
To just be a friend?"
----------
Untouchable is he
Or is it what they want to see?
Everyone just leaves him alone
And they close their hearts to his pain-filled moan
----------
'Cause there's a crack
In his plastic crown
And no one can see
That his throne's melting down
He cries at night
Where no one can see
And he wonders
"Is there anyone who cares for me?"
----------
Untouchable is he
Or is it what they want to see?
Everyone just ignores his cries
And so the world just passes him by
----------
Seven years later
He's still the same
The others are gone
Out of the game
And still he remains alone
As you've guessed
Can't a guy like him
Deserve to rest?
----------
Untouchable is he
Or is it what they want to see?
Everyone just believes he's fine
There must be someone that makes him shine
----------
One rainy morning
News on the wing
He went and killed himself
Their voices cry, "Long live the King
But why would he do this?
Didn't he know we were there?"
And the ghosts all answer
"Yes, but you didn't care"
----------
Untouchable was he
Or was it what they used to see?
Everyone just went with the flow
There was no one that tried to know
----------
Untouchable is he
It was all they used to see
Everyone just cries for him back
And now you know the man behind the mask
