Boys don't cry

I have said something,
I have said a lot of things even,
In my silence, I said enough
But you always knew how to kiss my brains out,
And make me swim in  ecstacy and I let it slide,
All the time.

Wonder when my shoulders curved like that?
The day  I handed you my ego,
And you stepped on it like a door mat.
Stung me with your words,
Little by little,
And I let it burn,
Silently.

Leave the lights on,
And look at how much of a man I am.
These swellings are not from  love bites ,
All these are scars of a forgotten love,
And reminders of boys don't cry,
Ever.

I have swallowed pain and
Died many times before this,
What for ? I ask myself,
Because of a demon called
'what will people say' and
'Boys don't cry'.
