He never cried out

of pain.

Holding back tears as his father beat him.

Hoping for better days.

He cried out

of love.

Holding her hands for the last time.

Knowing she could no longer

save him.

His blackened eyes faded

into the night.

As he cried at the stars.

Holding on until he knew

he could give up.

Rest easy, my best friend
