he sits alone

he sits alone, night after night
with a single tear in his eye
he holds it in, time after time
because society won’t let him cry

he holds it back, day after day
all this love he wants to give
he hides it away, face after face
because society won’t let him live

he walks through life, year after year
sleeping beside an empty space
he’ll always wander, love after love
because in society, he has no place

one day, he will
