The Sad Boy

Drowning in his own tears, wondering if his cries only fell on deaf ears,

the sad boy picked up his pen and began to write.

My pillows are soaked in tears, I've never been so sad in all my years

I've learnt a lot from my experiences and the consequences are clear

If you grow too close to someone and they decide to leave, it takes a toll

Also, If you think too deeply you will drown yourself; As I am doing now, 

Wishing I didn't shed so many tears every day but what else is there to do,

when you sit at home everyday for three months, listening to everyone make plans

Wishing you had some. The only things you have to share are tear stained cheeks and puffy eyes,

my friends are asking if I'm okay, but they can't see my face so I answer them with blatant lies; 

looking back at how things used to be in the past, I guess everyone was right when they said that happiness 

never lasts, I'm trying to be strong but obviously I'm failing, even trying to fake a smile but the frown is prevailing. I don't know what to do anymore I'm confused and completely lost; I hope she won't be disappointed 

or upset with me, I really am trying. Everything I had that helped me to keep my s**t together is completely gone and she is all I have left. 

I hear strange noises around me, 

I look left and I look right

all I see is the purifying darkness of the night

Obviously an unknown source is trying to remind me 

that I'm alone, there's no one to run to and no place to call home

I apologize to everyone who tried, 

I couldn't thank you enough,

To all my brothers who I looked up to as fathers because I didn't have one, 

I respect you. To all my sisters who gave me hugs and love,

Thank you very much

Most importantly, to the girl with the magical touch and salty taste, 

your efforts have not gone to waste. I love you dearly, you are all I have

I hope none of you will give up on me, at least I won't lie, 

At the end of the day, Still I cry.
