His heartaches <br />his soul whimpers <br />the look of helplessness <br />a gasping breath of anxiety. <br /> <br />An uncertain boy <br />an unsteady walk <br />the lowering of his chin <br />the dragging of his feet. <br /> <br />Beautiful brown eyes <br />hidden by dark shades <br />pearly white teeth <br />hidden behind a still expression. <br /> <br />They may wonder <br />they may suggest <br />and the obvious <br />appears to go unnoticed. <br /> <br />An uncertain boy <br />an unsteady walk <br />the lowering of his chin <br />the dragging of his feet.<br /><br />Lorna Gero<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/silently-crying/
