Tell Me

She came to me in mourning
eyes fresh with tears
Streaming down her cheeks
betraying secret fears

I prayed that she would smile
and try to stem the tide
Letting her know I'd listen
to whatever she would confide

It took her quite a while
figuring out where to start
Where the pieces fit together
the puzzle of a broken heart

You could see the pain so clearly
like the first light of day
God please heal her wounds
for only this I pray
