Wipe Away The Tears

Wipe away the tears
Try to ease the pain
Knowing that your baby
Won’t be the same again

It’s cruel and unfair
For you to feel this way
Hiding behind your smile
To make it through the day

Feeling like an outcast
Wanting to belong
Exhausted from the effort
Of always being strong

Others quick to judge you
Caught up in their own world
Not taking time to see
You’re just a normal girl

You fought so hard
Shut out the doubt and pain
Which cleared the way
For you to feel again

You have never been more beautiful
Than how we saw you then
Having faith in what was real
Living life again

To hear you laugh and see you smile
No pressure from outside
Relaxed and being natural
No fear No need to hide

It was simple, it was easy
Everything was clear
It was the happiest we’ve seen you
The happiest this year

In an instant, it was gone
Dark clouds appeared again
We watched you struggle to stay strong
Doubt and uncertainty creeping in

Manipulated and controlled
By one who says he cares
His aim is isolation
Cos he doesn’t want to share

Blind and confused
Losing sight of what is real
He’s clever with his words
Changing how you feel

It’s painful to watch the change
Turning your back on those who care
To those who have been true
It’s almost too much to bare

If only you could see
What is really going on
The motivation behind his words
His intention is so wrong

You are not an object
Or a possession for him to choose
He doesn’t want you to be you
Because he knows that he will lose

He is preying on your doubt
In those of us you trust
Waiting for his moment
To turn it all to dust

I know that this sounds cruel
But we’ve seen it all before
The never ending cycle
Banging on your door

Your beautiful soul and guilt
Is why you let him in
It’s why you feel so tortured
Cos you know where you have been

We are helpless as we watch again
As we see you slipping away
Holding on to hope
You’ll find a way to stay

Hope is all we have
There’s nothing we can say
Please remember how you felt
During the real and positive days
