Innocently In Pain
holding your hand after a 5 hour surgery
you're so beautiful and you look so peaceful
i know you are in pain and can not respond
i wish i could tell you how i feel right now but the
words will not come out
if they would they wouldnt be right
all i can do is cry
my stomach is in knots
but my heart is in pain
nothing like the pain you are in
i can only imagine how you feel
holding your hand closed eyes
trapped in an innocent face
unlike the face ive once seen
although your hope is running low
your heart is flying high
if only i could tell you how i feel
if only you could see how much your family really
cares then maybe you would understand how I feel
and maybe you could tell me what i wish i could say
