No One Cried

Inspired by the movie Antwoine Fisher

 

No one cried for the little boy,
So he cried himself to sleep.
He dreamt of a world of kisses and hugs;
Plates filled with food to eat

No one cried for the teenage son,
So he cried his way to class
Mom was a s**t, dad was a drunk
Lived on the bad side of the tracks

No one cried for the lost young man,
So he cried as he lay in bed
Tightly holding a stranger
Some woman that he had never met

No one cried for the lost father,
So he cried as he worked and worked
Slaving away to make ends meet
Leaving his children alone and hurt

Will you cry for that little boy?
The one that’s lost and alone
Will you cry for that little boy?
The one that never had a home

Will you cry for that little boy?
So he won’t cry himself to sleep
Will you cry for that little boy?
The one that lives in you and me

Wow, that was a really intense write. It really does remind me of a poem by Antwone Fisher "Who will cry for the little boy"
This write is really sad, I love the rhymes, and I just love how it flows.
Very Beautiful
