His brave face was wearing thin
proving more difficult to uphold
cracks were forming
pain was leaking
he would soon be discovered
as broken
not whole.Expectations too high
on how he should feel
wanted to scream out the hurt
but no one wanted to hear
so, he kept it all inside
along with every memory of her.As he wiped tears from his face
roughly, with practised ease
he met their gaze full on
pleading for them to see
he was drowning in sadness
where was his lifeline?Another drink, just one more to numb
the loneliness in crowds
alone amongst everyone
another excuse, reason to leave
to allow him his time
to silently grieve
the life he once knew.Image: Searched online - from elle.fr
