I met someone down the street,
he looks cloud filled with rain
hes full of pain
hes darkness reeks.

He sat next to me with eyes no soul
minds afloat, hearts' unseen

We talked in silence
just stares and glances,
but I know he itches
for me to know.

Hes in pain, hes suffering
he needs help but no saving.
He lost his soul, hes love, hes whole
he wavers and shaking.

This tall mans tears are running
I told him to weep,
make the pain wash away
make it all disappear.

He stopped me with "no",
" I can't let go for I love her so,"
I stared without words
Is a man supposed to cry but to be left alone?

does a mans definition of man mean
not asking for help nor being saved?
Is a person in pain needs saving or not?
