A/U: I was inspired to write this after watching the second to last episode of the Trigun anime. The scene where Vash is sitting on the bench, crying as people walk by.

The Crying Man is a lonely soul

Those who see him, see him cry

He may smile but for you to leave is his goal

He will cry and you will never ask why

His heart aches even at joy

These pains have followed him since he was a boy

Those he's loved have come and gone

Gone in the worst of ways

To the place of no new dawn

Gone to the place of never days

He cries for those he's lost and for those he'd lose

He cries for the things he's done

At night he'll cry drowning in booze

As tear drops fall on his gun
