I want to wipe away your tears,
to make the pain that clouds your eyes disappear.
I know I cannot fill
that empty space inside your heart.
Yet I can't just stand here
while you're being torn apart.
You smile so gently,
tell me everything's okay.
But I see deep within
the tears that you cried today.
So don't stand there
with that fake smile,
because I'll be here
if you need to cry for a while.
