A tough guy I met, <br />stiff, strict and steady, <br />he had something to let, <br />as he got his words ready. <br /> <br />It took him long, <br />for a very word to start, <br />something was wrong, <br />loud as his beating heart. <br /> <br />A lot I tried to hear; <br />For sure harmlessly, <br />he had no one to fear, <br />i did nothing....honestly! ! <br /> <br />A broken stem rose, <br />I stepped back a bit, <br />He showed me a rose, <br />dead by a stiletto hit. <br /> <br />I rushed to console, <br />leaving all my fears, <br />a hefty punch rolled, <br />atlast he was a tough guy in tears.<br /><br />Chaitanya Dorwat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-tough-guy-in-tears/
