She said,
'please hold me tight'

'Alright'
but then I fell asleep and slept all night,
I woke to her but found fresh air
she'd upped and left me,
done a flit,
I think I was to blame a bit
which hurt a lot as well it might and
now I stay awake all night
in case
she comes back.

Little Jamar raised
His voice authoritatively,
"I'm a man, and
Men don't cry!"

Jordan grabbed him
By the shoulders,
And admonished him,
"Men don't cry..",
He exclaimed.
"Boy who told you that lie?
Men do cry sometimes."
Of course they do.
