I watch her from across the room She bows her head, covers her face But I know what she's trying to hide The tears that fall like bitter rain. She's hurting more than I can know I have my pain, but hers is worse. Even when her tears have cased, Her eyes reflect her real grief. Sadness, anger, pain, regret, Directed towards the person That was never there and never is That tears a family apart. I hope she knows I'm here for her Though there's not much I can do. I'll stand by her and hold her as She braves this storm again. The scars she has may never heal, But I know the pain will fade. I'll hold her hand and lift her up, I'll never let her fall.
