Poem - a rejigged Song of Me

He is reflective, soft and caring,
Bears his burdens heavily.
He’s not prone to natural pairing,
Flies solo all too easily.

He’ll debate on technicalities,
Or chide you with a smile.
But he’ll miss your similarities,
By at least a country mile.

If you show him some compassion
You’ll win a lifelong friend,
Just don’t ask him about fashion,
Or which bouquet to send.

He sees beauty all around the place.
But won’t recognise his own,
Hides tears behind a stony face
For his love, in secret, grown.

And so he never questions why
He wakes each dawn, alone.
A tragedy, for he is I,
And such frailty I’ve shown
