She Cries
She’s crying for all the mistakes she’s made
Pain streaming from her heart
Hurt breaking her down bit by bit
Tears roll down her face
She cries for all the hurt she’s caused
Loneliness now her only friend
Anguish for the past and for the future that won’t be
Drops of sadness wetting her cheeks
She cries for being alone
Unable to carry the burden alone
She falls to her knees
Crying out to God for help
She’s hurting more than words can tell
Unable to utter it to anyone
For none will comprehend
Water streaming across her face
Surrendering to shame
Pain breaking her down
Unbearable misery tearing her apart
No more tears left to shed
She cries
She hurts
She longs
She’s alone
Succumbing to anguish
Bowing her head
No light breaking through the darkness
She cries
She’s crying out for help
Begging, pleading for you
To save her, to set her free
Tears welling up in her brown eyes
She’s reaching out to you
Don’t turn her away too like everyone else
Don’t act like you don’t care as you said you did
No lies, no tears, no cries
She’s begging for mercy
Don’t leave her alone in despair
Don’t turn your back to her pleas
Dry her tears with your love and care
She’s crying,
Her hands holding out to you
Take her hand, walk with her
Keep her safe from hurt and sadness
Through your eyes, her hurt can end
With your love, she can heal
Don’t shut your ears to her voice
Embrace her, keep her safe from harm
By loving her, she can recover
With your want, she can bloom again
Your touch can heal her wounds
Your sweet lips can dry her tears
