What can I say to help you past, <br />the sadness that you live, <br />Soft words could not erase the hurt, <br />no solace can I give. <br />For scars run, oh so very deep, <br />bitter words, still scald your soul, <br />Locked in your painful memories, <br />Secrets kept, so sad, untold, <br />I know you whisper to the winds, <br /> what you can't say to me, <br />The winds can keep your secrets, <br />but they cant help set you free, <br />And sometimes, oh so very slight, <br /> a softened thought is said, <br />a mystery, to most I think, <br />Between the lines i read, <br />Behind the strong unfaltering stare, <br />Soft eyes, a frightened child, <br />And when your guard eventually falls, <br />Your soul is reconciled;<br /><br />Laurie hill<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-can-i-say-9/
