Crystal Tears
Every night she prayed for something
To make a change in her life
Knowing when he came home again
He would claim her as his wife
She had to do as he wanted
Never dared to refuse
Knowing that would only get her
Another painful bruise
Her silent tears fell like crystals
From a broken chandelier
She screamed, but only in her mind
So he could never hear
Those terrible years ended for her
When he was driving like a fool
He was so drunk he missed his turn
And drowned in the neighbor's pool
That night:
Her joyful tears sparkled like crystals
On a golden chandelier
She laughed out loud, not caring
If the whole, wide world could hear.
