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
