Please review! It's one of my poems that just sort of came to me.
The Boy Around the Corner
He's crying
A fifteen year old boy on the street
Curled up on his side
And he's sobbing
And the tears leave marks on his cheeks
He's crying for his family
Who threw him out onto the street
Because they were ashamed
Of his love for the boy
That lived around the corner.
He's crying for the loneliness
That surrounds him
And suffocates him
He's crying because he's tired
Of hate
And hurt
And he wants comfort
And love
But nobody's there
Not his family
Or the boy
That lived around the corner.
He's stopped crying
And he's sleeping
But he's been sleeping for too long
And it's too late now
He's not breathing
But the tear marks are still on his cheeks
And wherever he is, he's dreaming
Of the boy that lived around the corner.
