When The Ocean Dries

Why must he hurt?
Why be given tears to cry?
Such a person should only know joy
Yet he knows it's hard to come by
Tears spill from my own eyes-
Possibly twice as many as he cries
This ocean of frustration and always asking why-
Was once the place this heart resided
Bitter cold days were endless no matter how warm the light
I shudder to think how indifferent this soul became
At last there was truth, it really would be alright
Somehow some way I want to show him too
Not just anyone could make this heart believe even one I love you
Can no one see the gift they've got?
Such a friendship is one I cherish
To think that things will never change-
Sends anger through my every vein
Often times he is the lantern in the darkest of nights
Of course those words never surface
His pain is my tears
And with every ounce of my battered heart I hope and pray
True happiness finds him
No one deserves it more
