The Man I Saw

I saw him crying and thought what would make him a man cry.
Death of someone he cared about, maybe he was crying cause a his girlfriend left him.
Still instead of giving him is little corner in this little alley way. I just stare at him. Trying to find away to comfort him.
But how men hate to cry.
I've been told.
Men hate to show emotions.
I've been told.
So I leave him there while I contemplate what I should do. If I walk over there he can get angry. Maybe take out his frustration out on me. No he doesn't look the type to me.
But how men hate to cry.
I've been told 

Men hate to show emotion.
I've been told.

He looks so sad and lonely there all along 
almost scared.
I'll be brave I'll walk over there and see. 
I ask him are you ok?
He turns quickly like he didn't even hear my footsteps as I came near.
No. 
Is there anything I can do? He doesn't look homeless his clothes are clean, face is shaved. Maybe he got rob. I thought
No.
Do you need some help then? Why is he crying? I thought he looked really really cute. Probably girlfriend trouble I thought.
No. 
Did someone die? I ask thinking damn girl you really are one nosey bitch. I tried not to laugh at myself. But when I asked he seemed to cry a little more. So I crouch down next to him.
No.
It's ok you know in time you'll feel better I lost my mom awhile ago you learn to live again. Nothing no reaction from him nothing. He's younger than me I notice maybe 24. Can't be crying about a mortgage lol I thought. Then what can bring a young man down this much. Where's is family, girlfriends, friends shouldn't be be talking to one of them. I give up and start to stand up. When he grabs my hands looks up at me with the saddest eyes I've ever seen.
He tells me why he's been crying:
"I went to the doctor today wasn't feeling too good lately."
He puts his head back down and continues. 
I found out I'm HIV+ 
I bend down pick him up and gave him what he needed most right now a big hug and held him till he stopped crying.
End!

She's Beautiful

She sparkles like no one I've ever known true beauty.
The glow that comes from her is amazing.
I know her, she in pain.
She can hide it all she wants but I know her. 
She's survived childhood and that's amazing.
But I know when she's alone I hear it in her voice

Like her life is empty she has no choice


No idea how she can stare
Doesn't anyone even care
She needs this to be over
So she can cry and be sober.
She looks out her window,
How can the world not stop it's lingo
Don't they know can't they see, 
She's right there next to you and she
All you see is what she let's you
But she screams inside don't you see she's blue
She's beautiful she sparkles like a shooting star
She just walked right by you going into that bar
She'll drink again bring up her confidence
I know her she'll take him home, to feel special significant
In the morning he'll be gone but a memory
And she'll go out there grab her morning berry
And she'll smile and wave
As her life around her caves

Last Night

Last night she finally lost him 
There wasn't this music playing in the background no Toni Braxton to ease it. 
To show how hurt she was how lost and confused she felt.
She's never felt this way about anyone anywhere.
He knew he had found what he's been looking for his whole life.
There wasn't any no Boys II Men on the radio.
Then why aren't they together.
There has never been this type of connection. Fate seemed to have gotten it right.
Then why aren't they together.
They like the same movies, games, and music.
They find pleasure in the abnormal sense of the word.
Then why aren't they together.

He loves everything she does even down to her little snore. 
She loves all he does for her, the way he makes that face when needs to solve problems.

Then why aren't they together.

She knows his moods just but the way he closes the door, when he comes home.
He knows when her family had made her cry again.
Then why aren't they together.
This why cause when fate made them to be together and have what is so rarely found in this world.
They forgot to actually put them on the same continent so they'll have a fighting chance to be together.
So now they're on Skype crying and saying it's over.
