Sad Little Boy

Sometimes you keep hanging on to a lie even when you know the truth.

Sad Little Boy belongs to the following groups:

All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical and WMG

Sad little boy
He waits in hope
Waits in hope
He said he’d come

Sad little boy
For days it seems
Days and days
When will he come

Sad little boy
Who’ll tell him why
Tell him why
He’ll never come

Sad little boy
Still at his post
At his post
Knows he won’t come

Sad little boy
Things never change
Never change
He said he’d come

    Yes, but sad little boys do eventually grow up to be competent men. At least some of the time.

    Yes…but he grew into a fine man. I know him well.
