In the Closet
His heart is silent.
He speaks no more
of things and scenes that went before,
before he knew who hides.
In the closet he still abides.
He never sings or speaks sweet words.
He just stands there in the dark
watching and waiting like a hungry shark.
Someday he'll look in the mirror
and see the one he always knew.
He'll love and accept him.
He'll start anew.
When that day comes I'll still be here
smiling and waiting to wipe each tear.
I'll say, "I love you no matter what."
"Just be happy. Don't give up."
