Later

No one saw it coming

No one had a clue

There behind the smiling face

A sadness no one knew

Everyone was unaware

No one saw inside

Nobody got close enough

Until the day he died

Everything was all he had

Nothing mattered much

All he ever wanted

Was all he couldn’t touch

All that he could count on

Were endless days of pain

Everywhere no one could see

Him buckling from the strain

All he kept inside himself

Had cut him like a knife

But all of that was gone for good

The day he took his life
