Caught Inside the Frame

We see the man; not the pain

As in a picture within a frame

On the surface all seems well

Caught inside a frame of hell

No one can see inside the heart

Or imagine it being torn apart

We see the tears in others eyes

But do not hear their silent cries

Out of the blue you get a call

The tone in the voice says it all

The bad news quickly settles in

That you have lost a dear friend

Many question the reason why

That one would say goodbye

Make the choice to end it all

Allow the curtain of life to fall

Let us lift our prayers for a man

That held his life within his hand

Then attempted to ease the pain

Of a man caught inside the frame
