A Child's Tears

A Child's Tears
by Mike Pollock

she smiles
but she doesn't see she's dying
she tries
but she doesn't know he's lying

It's everything that she can do to stay
awake
but it's starting to take it's toll...

Quarter after 3
he finally makes it home
Silence broken
there's no sleep in her tone

It's everything that he can do to say
Sorry
but it's starting to take it's toll...

Lay in bed
They don't know the world is ending
Fast asleep
But they can see right through pretending

It's everything they can do to keep
from crying
but it's starting to take it's toll...
