She holds his face in the palm of her hand. She paints his skin a glowing caramel. She stains his his eyes earthy brown. She takes a brush and paints his lips a light rose red. She takes and paints his hair a dark darker brown.
The puppeteers attach the strings from their finger tips down to their toes. She starts the show by connecting to her bow. She plays the harmony and his heart starts to beat. She plays in a minor key while his eyes slowly open. He starts to walk the lonely path of life.
He starts the second act by connecting her strings to the bridge. He strums the guitar to awaken her heart. She lays lays there still as a doll. So he plays the melody. Her hearts starts to beat rapidly. Her eyes fly open. All irrational fears infect her like a disease. She tries to stand, but the weight of the world is heavy for her to carry.
She runs her bow across the strings, sending troubles his way. His demons hold him down. He tries to push them away, but he can't get back up. He crawls towards the lamp post. He sees a girl panicking. He finally is able to push his demons away and runs towards her. She looks at him and her fears start to fade. He takes her hand and the music becomes gentle and slow. They dance in the music staff and follow the beat. He takes her face in his hands and looks her in the eyes and says "everything will be alright".
