Image Of A Man 

By John M Lennon 

Wash away all that you can it is still in the stains of blood that you stand

Alone he set and cried 

The pooling of the fear was never seen, as he kept it all inside

Each tear was one more drop into the sea he was trying to navigate 

Under the cover of a wicked smile, he lied

As a man no one could see him

Pooling until it was finally in this pain he cried 

Tears forming as blood in his hands 

Showing how much he could take was never part of the plan 

Now all but lost because the image of a man
