The Real Lost Boy
June 7, 2018
He kept my feelings inside a small glass jar
He knew my every ache, my every scar
But he was a much more complicated case
I only knew the pain on his worn face
I liked to imagine the things he hid
A monster tucked beneath a child's bed
Something so bad
He had to spare my feelings to not make me sad
The secrets he kept were like snakes taking him
Could they truly be so grim?
If this was a forever with no end
We must amend
I don't want anymore lies
Nor the sadness in his eyes
I want his happiness to stay
Even for just one day
