He waits to watch the world go by
As nothing ever stops
It’s enough to make a grown man cry
The sun goes down behind the mountains high
And darkness suddenly drops
He waits to watch the world go by
He wonders where his enemies lie
It’s not knowing who to fear
It’s enough to make a grown man cry
He knows he can’t win, but he has to try
They can always find him here
He waits to watch the world go by
He has nowhere to run and will not deny
He holds their secrets dear
It’s enough to make a grown man cry
The secrets always he will keep
Though the fear runs ever deep
He waits to watch the world go by
It’s enough to make a grown man cry

Another great write, but I was so sad reading it. Then again am a grown woman watching the world go by..
I was trying my hand at a structured form, villanelle, it’s not easy!
Yeah I know, that's funny cause just yesterday I went and was looking at some different styles of writing, I wanted to know exactely what a fushion poem was, am not sure I spelled that right.. LOL
