Watching Angels Cry

A heart breaks powerless
Watching pale eyes look away
In search of some escape
A pain they try to keep hidden
Masked behind a beautiful smile
Painted eyes hiding tears
The kindest soul pretending
That they have nothing to hide
Yet it can still be seen
A hand or kind word offered
Awaits an honest reply
Wanting to help to protect
Unable to change the world
While waiting restless
Watching angels cry
A heart breaks powerless
For a beautiful life
