Love Poem: Ordinary Guy

Ordinary Guy

I see you in the hall
And the tears threaten to fall
I fight to keep them back
Throughout the day
How did things get this way?

Everyone thinks they know how I feel,
But none of it is real.
I fake a smile 
And try to keep my feelings in file
All the while
Pieces of my heart break away

I take off this mask
I’ve worn so long
The questions are asked
As days wear on
The rage quivers and falls aside
I look at you and all I see
Is an ordinary guy.
