Have Some Faith In Me, I Pray...

I stand and watch your smiling face,

The pain you feel inside, erased?

You wave at me and say goodbye,

But deep inside, I hear you sigh.

-----

You might believe that I don’t know,

The pain and sadness that time does sow.

You think that you’ll just burden me,

But that doesn’t help a thing, you see?

-----

It hurts to see my helplessness,

To watch your life of selflessness.

The hurt wrought from the love I hold,

The love, with time, your actions mould.

-----

You gave your all to stand by me,

Your gentle words as kind can be.

Yet now you turn your back away,

To hide the words your heart does say.

-----

Let me hear your deepest thoughts,

The pain inside, the battles fought.

Though I know not what the words to say,

I’ll be with you all the way.

-----

Have some faith in me, I pray…
