Tears From His Eyes

laying across the bed, feeling lonely and lost
the very existence of their relationship seems to be based on a lie
trying his best to keep it all in, it's hard to hide the heartbreak he's enduring
his very soul and mind, tied with his heart has guided him along the way
scared that he won't be able to love again, he hides behind a slight smile
even though his emotions are screaming for love within,
society teaches the man to never show those emotions,
but I say, cry if it allows you to let go of the pains and struggles of your past
especially if it's for the darkness of false pretenses, coming to the light

laid across his pillow, he refuses to let her see him like that
almost as if the angel of death had come in to sit at the foot of the bed
all he wanted was for her to tell the truth, because he had always been honest with her
it seemed as though his tears didn't phase her, no sympathy for the pain and wounded
not understanding why it happened, he knows that he has to move on
although, most men find it better to fix unfixable problems instead of carrying on
tell him that he will be loved again
tell him that he can love again

never understood why women always mistreat the good men
I guess it's because our hearts are more damaged than we think
the tears from his eyes let him know that....he needs a better love, again....
