Please Don't

A wrote it for a contest

I looked at him, but never saw him

He smiled, but couldn't beam

He laughed, but felt no joy

A beautiful boy, full of ugly pain

I spoke to him but never listened

I held is hand to never cradled his heart

So broken

I thought he seemed so whole

So sad

I thought he seemed so happy

It is to late for him now

I wish I could say the words I never said

The words someone should have said

The words he never heard

Please Don't

Not my pain, simply a poem

I think it's interesting that you wrote it without relating to the words yourself. I think a lot of people have trouble doing that. It can be hard to write about something you don't feel and I think you did really well in that. I'm also glad you're not in this kind of pain and I hope you're doing well.
