She Prays

A girl that people don't see.

A broken heart that people see right through.

She kneels by the bed every night and she prays.

She prays to be loved.

She prays to be held.

She prays to stop the tears.

She prays to be strong and carry on.

She prays on and on.

Another day, another week, another month.

They pass slowly by as she watches herself drown.

Every night she finds some relief as she prays.

She prays to be loved.

She prays to be held.

She prays to stop the tears.

She prays to be strong and carry on.

She prays on and on.

Then one night the tears did not come.

It was like it all ended as a man came into her life.

And she prays.

She prays that he loves her.

She prays that he will hold her.

She prays never to see the tears again.

She prays that they will be strong and carry on.

And she prays on and on,

While he prays too.
