How Ironic

How ironic

That inside this tower

The people you see

Their lives filled with such irony

In every sense of the word.

You see the leader

His knowledge so thorough

But he falls for the girl

Who knows nothing at all

And she asks;

Her green eyes alight with curiosity

"Please, teach me,"

And he tries to teach her

But she'll never learn

While her mind wanders to his hidden eyes

Behind the mysterious black mask he wears

It only leaves her asking more.

And she knows how to live

Fly a foot off the ground

Every day

But he, to her dismay

Never seems to stop pacing.

How ironic

It makes you wonder

Why they're there at all.

You hear the distant chanting

Of the girl who shows nothing at all

Her violet eyes closed

While she enjoys the solitude

And chants her mystic phrase.

But someone's watching.

You see the boy, an emerald green

Who loves to hear the laughter

The laughter only he can bring to her

But, she cannot laugh

And yet, he tries.

There has been another

One that laughed, and seemed to love

But she was merely playing

Playing with his heart

Playing with her heart.

He found he valued loyalty

Over the ability

To give a happy grin

And so he will wait, until she lets him in

But she cannot let anyone in.

How ironic

It makes you wonder

Why they're there at all.

You see the hulking metal man

Bending over his custom car

Such concentration

But he's not thinking

His mind has wandered somewhere else.

A soul who thought evil was merely a thing

Not a person, a sad lonely girl

He came from the mission without a scratch

Not physically

But he can see;

His deception, so evil, so utterly wrong.

She loved him then

Before she knew

He was the guy she always fought

She had been taught

Exactly how to fight;

But, not like this.

At the school

They were a couple

Until she found out, and now they fight

How could they be enemies?

When they were the closest friends?

How ironic

It makes you wonder

Why they're there at all.

And this irony

In every heart

It makes one wonder why they try

But they will go until they die

How noble, but still;

How ironic.
