Why does he cry?

.

Mother gone

Father enraged

Sent into exile

Why does he cry?

.

Alone on the streets

Away from admonishment

Brief freedom

Why does he cry?

.

Love of his life

The boy with soft curls

Gone forever

Why does he cry?

.

Nothing to live for

No home

Nor love

Why does he cry?

.

Bleeding, dripping

Failure to cease

Darkness impends

Why does he cry?

.

Silence
