Silent Crying

She lays her head on Her pillow Says her prayers With no sound There's a shadow By her window Telling her There'll be no one else To know Silent crying For a childhood Gone by She's slowly dying With the secret She hides Close to her heart Another night left To eternity Another memory To deny She counts her dolls Tries to forget about What no one else Will ever know Silent crying For a childhood Gone by She's slowly dying With the secret She hides What no one else Will ever know Silent crying For a childhood Gone by She's slowly dying With the secret She hides Silent crying If she dared She would find The word she Dreams of But the word Passes by
