to them
he is everything
he is laughter
he is smiles
to himself
he is nothing
he is pointless
a waste of time
he walked
always
with his heart in his hands
p r e t e n d i n g
to be everything
they thought he was
w a n t i n g
to be everything
they thought he was
he finally broke
and told them
e v e r y t h i n g
and they gave him
n o t h i n g
in return, but
a few sorrowful smiles
and that wasn't enough
nor was it enough
when they found him
their everything
destroyed and left for
n o t h i n g
