Neither Here nor There

Neither Here nor There

A Poem by L

Here's a girl who's all alone
under trees named for their tears
and here's a man who walks away,
fake smile hiding all his fears

Here's the dark
and there within,
she's the shame-faced 
look of sin

Here's escape 
and all it brings.
There's a guy 
who thinks he's king

Here's a world
that's full of lies
and here's the bit
inside that dies

Here is hurt
and here is loss.
There's a guy 
nailed to a cross

There is trust 
and there is truth.
Here are lost,
misguided youth

'Here's a girl who's all alone
under trees named for their tears'

a lot of sadness here, people are not always what you think. i liked the twists and turns. some light in the last stanza, those positive forces re-emerging :)
