This Boy

Letting Go. 

This boy, complicated.

His world crumbling around him 

His world but a shell. 

I hold his face up in my hands. 

His voice quivers, 

he mustered some courage for her. 

We’ll walk hand in hand he said, 

We’ll face this world together. 

His words don’t match his actions, 

he left this girl wondering. 

Her tears sometimes fall. 

He wipes them up but they still flow

This girl, complicated. 

Should she let him go? 

Leaving. Left. Gone.
