In Dreams She Cries
In dreams she cries where none can see
The nightmarish hell that brings her to her knees
She longs for a way to end the constant pain
The ghoulish abuse she endures everyday
She dreams of a life free of tears
Free of suffering she’s endured so many years
Try and try she searches for a way
To end this cruelty of life that has become her bane
With tearful thoughts she knows what must be done
Suddenly in her hand lies a loaded gun
This price would be to high she knows with a start
To wake to this would destroy her breaking heart
In dreams she cries for a love gone wrong
A vow made forever but now long gone
She awakes with a start, tears still stinging her eyes
Heart pounding, she runs so far from her home
Never stopping until she is so far away…long gone
She knows returning would end in a tragic end
She must keep running and let a new life begin
Months later she realizes her eyes are finally dry
No longer when she sleeps do her eyes cry
She is finally free, finally without pain
Her life her own, each day her’s to gain a new way
So finally she smiles without knowing why
But she’s now number one in her very own eye
