Love Poem: All He Wanted

Written by: Marcel Els

All He Wanted

All he ever wanted,
To hear those words;
All he ever wanted
Was to simply     be wanted.

When a man is left with no more tears,
His heart bled:
Into his soul.

Hiding behind a harden mask,
Torturous screams
Held back by sealed lips...

No more fancy words.
No more rhythm nor rhyme.
No more sweet whispers...

My pride .
Guilty tears
My pride..
Eyes begging
My pride...

If only we listened.
If only we saw.
If only     we didn’t let pride win.
