i don’t think this will work out

shes been hurt before,
so tread carefully with her.
don't leave her broken.

Little boy sitting in his room,
voices outside the door scream.
Mommy and daddy,
fighting again.
Family falling apart at the seams.

Every night daddy comes home,
he's inebriated.
Yells at mommy,
cause dinners not done,
it's half past one.

Mommy's to busy,
mending her heart,
a wounded soul.
And daddy shows no love,
no affection.

And the boy is spinning,
round and round,
out of control.
Doesn't know where to go,
he's lost direction.

Mommy walks into his room,
sits down on his bed.
Tear slowly roll down her face,
as she slowly says:

"Mommy and daddy need a break,
all our love is gone.
I love you,
and he does too,
but this just can't go on."

And the boy cries,
the boy cries,
the boy cries,
the boy cries.

And he cries,
and he cries,
and he cries,
and he dies.

Because daddy shows no love,
no love,
no love,
no love.

No love,
no love,
no love,
no love.

And the boy is spinning,
round and round,
out of control.
And he doesn't know where to go,
where should he go,
where can he go?

He's lost direction.
He's lost direction.
Shows no affection,
has no direction.

a childs cries
as her mother lies
her blood staining the tiles
she hides in the closet
waiting to be found

as hands grab her
she screams and yells
she blacks out
and as she awakes
in the corner of white walls
her screams muffled by silence

a child cries
as he watches blood flow like rivers
his father tells him the highs
of sweet victory obtained
so he runs to the mountains
where he hides in a cave

as hands grab him
he screams and yells
he blacks out
and awakes to a cold floor
with four walls without a door
his screams are muffled by silence

our unheard cries
of help or sorrow
we pretend to hear
we refuse to listen
as children cry
for thier mothers and fathers

the world has turned cold
yet some choose to fold
others stand strong
proving thier might
even without light

we abandoned all hope
when hope seemed lost
we vacated all faith
when faith seemed unreal
when a child cries

still the childrens cries
the first to die when death struck
like lightnings quick flash
echoing like thunder through the ages
forever remaining unheard

When A Woman Cries

       When a woman cries
A part of her world is lost
A piece of her heart crumbles
And it eats away at her soul

When a woman cries
She has become overwhelmed
She doesn’t know where to turn
She feels she’s losing control

When a woman cries
She usually cries alone
A darkness seems to fall
it seems to follow her too

When a woman cries
You can see and feel her hurting inside
You want to help her
But there’s nothing you can do

When a woman cries
You have to just let her be
She just needs to let it out
And release her pain

When a woman cries
Sometimes you need to step aside
And let her hide away
And let the tears rain

When a woman cries
It doesn’t matter the reason
She has the right to cry
As she tries desperately to be strong

When a woman cries
If you don’t know the reason why
Just swallow your pride and apologize
And just admit you are wrong

When a woman cries
It’s something that’s real
It rises from deep in the core and it’s
something you must quickly realize

So give her love and compassion
Let her know you’re on her side and
Never be the cause for the heartache
Of when a woman cries
