What can I say to help you past,
the sadness that you live,
Soft words could not erase the hurt,
no solace can I give.
For scars run, oh so very deep,
bitter words, still scald your soul,
Locked in your painful memories,
Secrets kept, so sad, untold,
I know you whisper to the winds,
what you can't say to me,
The winds can keep your secrets,
but they cant help set you free,
And sometimes, oh so very slight,
a softened thought is said,
a mystery, to most I think,
Between the lines i read,
Behind the strong unfaltering stare,
Soft eyes, a frightened child,
And when your guard eventually falls,
Your soul is reconciled;
