And She Cried
Her heart wrenching sobs shook my soul
I watched her in fascination as she cried
How was it possible anyone could let go?
Emotions tumbled from her one by one
and I sat, I watched, and marveled almost
She hurt so badly and I was envious of it
She felt all that pain and it shook her body
Her heart was broken, her soul shattered
I wanted to help so badly to do something
I sat still and thought, but the answer eluded
Why was it so difficult to feel that pain she felt?
She is my truest girlfriend, the one I love so much
and her heart was breaking over the man she loves
He hurt her so badly and I wanted to beat him
wanted to strike out and tear him apart
All I could do was watch her in her private agony
She wanted a hug, a simple affectionate gesture
I was too stupid to see it, too hard to realize
I held her and her tears fell on me and I tried
So hard I wanted her pain to leave her
to come into me, but only anger came
Help her! I screamed at myself harshly
and I will try, I will help her, I will be there
