When A Man Cries Poem by Lora Colon
When A Man Cries
Men strive to appear formidable and strong,
In their castles, they are the lord;
But when a man cries for a woman's love,
These are tears that cannot be ignored
There are those who say a man should not cry,
But when a woman withholds her love,
Loneliness overtakes his aching heart......
Crying is all he's capable of
When he struggles to hold back the tears,
And his blue sky has turned dark gray,
It is then that a woman's smile and touch
Will help him to find his way
If he's crying tears of apology and remorse,
Then she must consider his request;
Show forgiveness, we all fail at times,
A second chance will put his heart at rest
Don't play with his feelings, guard his dignity,
Don't plant seeds of deception and lies;
This can only result in a harvest of woe,
Everything changes, something in him dies
When he's navigating troubled waters alone,
When his soul sinks into dark despair,
Bring the light back to his empty eyes,
Hold him tenderly, show that you care
Don't let him languish in sorrow and pain,
Lift the burden as gently as you can;
The storm is over...... don't deny him your love,
And never ignore the tears of a man!
A great poem, Lora. Your husband was a lucky man to have such an understanding wife. A man crying is not a sign of weakness, more a sign of utter despair. Men tend to hide their emotions more and if they break down then something is drastically wrong, as you point out in this poem it is at this time that a little understanding and support works wonders. None of us is an island, Lora, we all need somebody.
I'm not sure only jilted men cry. Sometimes we have to leave the one we love. Is that not reason for tears? Sometimes Weltsmertz gets us down with feelings of helplessness, rage against God? (what it feels like) and that can bring tears. See Boy At The Window by Richard Wilbur if you want to understand Weltsmertz. A great poem Laura, but it speaks even more to me of your heart than it does of your understanding of men, for which I as a man of course thank you.
A great poem Lora. Very insightful. Seems you've got us men well and truly sussed - in the right way of course.
Tender endearing poem! Indeed when a man cries it is more moving. Its strange that only jilted men cry, for otherwise men r too hardened to cry. But just u threaten to leave n they show u tears. Made me rethink sth personaly, mayb we shudnt ignore their scarce tears. Wondrous rhymin lori. Fond regards.
