The man within
cringes at her angry words
like icy shards against his heart
but he doesnt let her see...

The man within
longs for the warmth
of her loving arms around him
but he doesnt let her see...

The man within
stares in the dark
wondering where her heart is
but he doesnt let her see...

The man within
wonders if she'd have stayed
if he had only let her see

The man within

A poem that stands out from others.  Effective use the phrase `the man within`.

Hard to dig deeper when you feel you're hitting bottom time and again.

You expressed yourself so well and I enjoyed reading your poem.
