When He's Alone

HE'S THE LIFE
                        OF   THE    PARTY
                    SOMETHING ELSE TO
                  SEE, A NORMAL PERSON
                   LIKE YOU OR ME, BUT HE
                 o   HAS A BROKEN HEART,
                         IT HAS BEEN TORN IN
                           TWO, THOUGH YOU
                      o                       COULD   NEVER
                  o                             TELL IT,   FOR  HE
                                                HE  ACTS  LIKE   ME
                                               OR  YOU. TO  LOOK AT
                        o                     HIM YOU'D  NEVER GUESS
                                            HIS WORLD WAS TORN  APART
                                          HIS  SMILE DISPLAYED, TRIES   TO
               o                         DENY        HE HAS A BROKEN  HEART
                                        LOOK           A    LITTLE    DEEPER    AND
                                      YOU'LL            FIND WHAT'S HIDDEN THERE
                                    MUCH                  MORE PAIN AND SORROW
                                  THAN                      YOU'LL  FIND ANYWHERE
                                                                    HE WAILS AND  MOANS 
                                                                       WHEN  HE'S ALONE
                                                                        IT'S A TROUBLIED
                        SADNESS DOWN INSIDE. WHEN HE'S ALONE HE CRIES

Jay Moore October 27, 2018 at 9:29 PM I swear your talking bout me. Nice work sir Pat Adams October 28, 2018 at 11:13 PM Thank you Jay. I appreciate that!........pat

Rhoda Tripp October 23, 2018 at 7:09 PM Pat...this is fabulous. Don't be concerned that to you, it looks scattered. Mine does the same if you view it on a small screen like a cell phone. You just have to view it on a laptop. I left you a soup mail. Very awesome concrete! Kudos! Pat Adams October 23, 2018 at 9:16 PM Thank you so much for your comments and help. This was so hard I don't know if I'll try again, because I don't think I'm artistic enough to make it really look good. But it was fun trying though!!...........pat

Michelle Faulkner October 13, 2018 at 1:57 PM Beautiful verse. Pat, and the picture you created - both literally and figuratively - just amazing! Pat Adams October 13, 2018 at 2:58 PM Thank you Michelle. What a sweet thing to say! (Or write?!) My first concrete effort I thought was a little clunky. At first I didn't have returns on all the lines and when I submitted it, it flew apart. Oh well, a learning experience for sure!...................80)
