Together
Both were alone
Because of what
Many saw in them
One was a hero
Worshipped and adored
Since he was a babe
He was unwillingly thrust
Into the spotlight
Time and time again
He had to shoulder
The weight of the world
For that was his duty
The other was seen
As a terrifying monster
From the time he was young
Circumstances beyond control
Change him into a beast
Once a lunar month
He's had to deal
With scorn and ridicule
Despite his kind nature
Both lonely souls found
Solace and peace
Beside one another
Yet despite the fact
They need one another
And are happy together
Society frowns upon
The soul mates' bond
And hate more and more
But the two are happy
Both the "hero" and "monster"
Love one another
And one day they
Shall find peace together
Away from society's bigotry
