There Was A Boy

There was a boy

Who's smile used to be so bright

But something snapped inside of him

Something wasn't right

Maybe it was the fact

That he wasn't allowed to be

With the one who made him whole

The one who made him

Complete

Maybe it was that fact

That they took his love away

And forced him upon another

Wouldn't let him

Have a say

Maybe it was the fact

That there was nothing he could do

But watch his lover

Bring another

Along to the things he used to do

Maybe it was the fact

That no matter how hard he tried

He couldn't walk into the sun

Without having to hide

Maybe it was the fact

That no one seemed to see

How truly broken

How truly sad

He happened to be

There was a boy

Who's smile hadn't been seen I'm ages

But his tears dropped as he wrote

His goodbyes

In a book of stained pages

They could take away his freedom,

They could take away his love,

But they couldn't hurt him when he was safe

In the heavens above
