He Cries

Raindrops stream down the window Pane,

As he looks beyond in a trance,

Where did he go wrong he can’t understand,

What happened yesterday cannot be erased,

Why, oh why can’t he change his ways,

Make confessions a reality instead of a dream,

Unfortunate of how his life is playing,

Going further into his mind as he battles the pain,

Unsure how to begin again,

Trying to stand up after falling,

Tears streaming down his face,

Can’t remember love after causing so much grief,

How can he come back to truth with falsehood surrounding?

How can he open up with honesty forgotten?

Lost in his thoughts as people stare,

Hesitant to turn around and face them in tears,

The past once the present seems surreal,

Even though time moves forward he’s stuck in place,

His mind fighting to become his peace,

As smiling faces whisper through their teeth,

He’s completely lost on how he will live on,

Cold is all he feels as grey skies cover his faults,

Warm hugs embrace him as he puts up a front,

Feeling like a young boy who just woke up from a bad dream,

But only worse because his nightmare is a reality,

As raindrops stream down the window pane,

His secret tears are carried into rivers unclaimed.
