[bodytext] => He walked alone, the city streets Naked to the prying eyes of the world And in that nakedness was revealed All of his flaws and insecurities He couldn’t hide them Nor could he cover his indignity He could only walk a little faster So that no one could talk to him So that no one could know What he was really all about The pain, the misery inside From a lifetime of loves gone bad In his path, a woman, like himself He could see it in her eyes Eyes that looked away as they passed Not wanting anyone to see inside Eyes that held the pain and indifference Of a thousand lifetimes Brought to bear on a soul That could find no forgiveness In that one brief instant as their souls passed He could feel a kinship Someone that could understand the torment That eats away at the heart He turned to look back at this kindred spirit She was gone as quickly as she came And he kept on walking Naked to the prying eyes of the world.
