Nobody Cries

by Avrii Monrielle   Mar 21, 2007


I see him,
Back straight,
Eyes wide open,
Looking at
The sky

In all its glory
He opens the window
Staring out
Hoping for better
Tomorrows

I want to
Hug him, hold him
Tight, so that
He won't melt away
From my reach

He stares into space
The air his window
The seat my arms
The floor, sadness
The walls, a trap

My arms surround him,
Sinking in, invisibly,
I hold him, in my head
I hug him, I talk to him,
Whisper in his ear

Like he did to me,
Although he didn't know,
What I felt, how I felt
Around the first few
Days we met

He changed me
Just a little
At first, I didn't open
Up, but in the end
We grew closer

His smile, his laugh
Every secret, pout,
I cherish, deep down
His jokes, his sweetness
Penetrate ice

The days we met
Grew; here he is
I see him, I know him
My friend; I can see
What he's like

I want to tell him
It's okay, please smile
Let's play
A game, one more
Get rid of the pain

Boys don't cry
That's what's sad
He never talks
About mom or dad
Wishing away

We joke, laugh,
Forget everything;
No more sadness
When I see him, I know
He'll cheer me up

The days are rough
I hate the hours
But it turns around
When we reach class
And act out

Of ourselves, we
Can talk for hours;
Every minute, a life
No more sadness
Just joy

We don't see the pain,
The hidden tears,
We laugh it all away
This is why, for an hour a day
Nobody cries

    I loved this whole stanza
    His smile, his laugh
    Every secret, pout,
    I cherish, deep down
    His jokes, his sweetness
    Penetrate ice
    I think the last line was the coolest phraze, very nice job!

    I loved it.
    It made me want to cry.
    And, it had good flow, and it was so emotional, and it's easy to relate to.

    Amazing Job!!!
