Last Night He Laughed

Last night, just last night He stared out of his window and up into the stygian sky In the darkness, there were glints of light sparsely throughout In the stillness, his mind started to run But his heart was still and cold as the night With flashbacks of smiling faces that tell lies His precarious mind continued to race to no end Then a lonely tear started to escape the corner of his eye He wanted to let it go but this time he couldn't But why? Maybe because he had cried many times over the previous days and weeks A man crying?...... Men don't cry Unless he's felt the insidious 'Kiss of Judas' But last night he didn't cry Instead, he laughed Last night, just last night he shook his head and laughed
