Alone

His pain stays hidden

in the deepest crevasse

of his soul;

impenetrable

His smile masks a stain

Imbedded too deep to

Embrace in her race

Towards his heart

He’s distant by choice,

By conviction;

It’s his past situation

That leaves her to question

His lack of emotion

He’s lost in his own world

Not needing anyone

For comfort,

For support;

He’s managed this life

So far...

Alone.
