With tears in her eyes
She passed me by
I could feel her pain
While I watched her cry

Who could be so cruel
To break her heart
And let her world
Just fall apart

I wanted to take her
And hold her tight
To let her know
It will be alright

I wish I could take away
Her grief and sorrow
And promise her
A brighter tomorrow

Would it do any good
Would it make her day
I thought "I'm going to try"
As I walked her way

I take a deep breath
And then exhale
What will happen next
There's no way to tell

As she sits down on a bench
She stares into the distance
Focused on one spot
Giving nothing else a glance

I slowly approach her
Nervous about this meeting
Look at her with a smile
And give her a greeting

How are you today
And she weakly replied
Not that you care
But my spirit has died

My dreams have been shattered
My hopes have been killed
There's a huge hole in my heart
That can never be filled

Thank you for asking
But can you really relate
To this situation I'm in
And this life that I hate

I responded with a smile
If only you knew
The mental turmoil
And heartbreak I've been through

So as we talked
She seemed to open up more
Realizing she's not as alone
As she thought she was before

She started to smile
Her words carried laughter
I'm hoping she'll remember
This meeting from hereafter

She looked at me and said
I now have a reason to believe
There's more I can do
Than just pout and grieve

As I got up to leave
She gave me a hug
And said thanks for helping me
Out of this hole I've dug

I pray her heart
Can now start mending
And her life will have
A happy ending
