Hopeful Tragedy

“I’m fine” he said
“It’s nothing” he wrote
But really
He was broke

His heart torn
Between the two
The day late friend
And the one he loves

His stomach thrashes
His mind to active
The right choice
Is never the easiest

Somehow he’ll find
Happiness and peace
The smiles of the past
Hidden beneath his feet

“Help me” he said
“Save me” he wrote
But really
He was broke
