What Is Your Name

For the things I cannot fathom They play, repeatedly within me Like you I'm so sorry I do not know you well I witness your tears as you work I feel your struggle being alone I hear it in your voice Much like me What do I remember? Your shaky voice Saying tenderly, "I loved my mother so much" So much pain inside you All you need is love I'm so sorry I do not know your name Though you left the room filled with grief These people, without humanity, repeat "He needs not to cry" As I witness, My heart crumbled within What kind of human is no human at all? A creature with no heart When all someone needed was a hug What a shame you are For he only needed help Whoever you are Your no one i need to know
