Left in the wake

Some things can just not be said,

A lot of things, merely put to bed

It's worth delving deeper into his simple soul,

To understand him as a human, and in whole

Betrayed and bruised, straight to the bone,

There's a reason he bears a heart of stone 

All he wanted was for you to give him his value due,

Was it too much to ask, that you never had a clue?

It was easy for you to just move on, sans batting an eyelid,

Pushing him further into the darkness, where he always hid

Were your feelings for him never intended to last,

That you conveniently made him, a chapter of your past?

Maybe one fine day, it may dawn upon you,

He may have had rough edges, but of his word, he was always true.
