Silent Tears

A silent tear falls to the floor
The tears don't stop, they're followed by more

I have bruises all over, I wish I was dead
As I lay cold and lonely in my bed

I used to cut myself, mommy made me stop
But she isn't here anymore, so once again I watch the blood drop

My blood and tears mingle together on the floor, down my face the silent tears slipped
I'm freezing in this sinister room, my blankets torn and ripped

Earlier daddy hit me, that's when I started to cry
When daddy hit me is when I started wishing I could die

I feel sick, I miss mommy so much
I miss her warm smile and her gentle touch

But daddy didn't love her, he beat her to death
I went to her funeral, on her grave I laid baby's breath

He told me not to tell on him, that it was our secret to keep
And at mommy's funeral he didn't even weep

I haven't eaten in three days, I feel the pangs of hunger
I can't be strong anymore, I can't hold on much longer

The shadows press in on me, do I have to say goodbye? Will I find refuge from my fears?
I can hear the angels singing now, yet I still cry my silent tears

I have to leave now, it's my time to go
The angels will take care of me, mommy told me so

A silent tear falls to the floor
The tears finally stop, because I breath no more
