In My Arms He Cried For Her

Last night my heart 
was in distress with fear
she was coming back home.
She bids him saying 
it was over with 
the other man like so 
many times before. 

In my arms he cried for her. 

His heart hasn’t been 
the same since she left him.
When he starts to 
put the pieces of his life 
back together and mend 
the heart she left broken,
here she comes again and again.
Opening up the wound,
that was pierced so deep within.

In my arms he cried for her.

Every night I give him my ears
to listen to his heart.
I give him my shoulder to
hang his head upon.
I give him relief from the 
affliction she causes him.
I have given him my friendship
to cling to in  his time of need.

In my arms he cried for her.

I opened my heart to his pain 
falling in love with this hurting man.
What was I thinking?  
I cant turn back the hands of time.
I wouldn’t want to. 
Knowing in my heart that I
shared  with him one moment of love. 
Love beyond what I could ever imagine.

In my arms he cried for her.

He says not to worry.
I have always been there
to pick up the pieces 
of his shattered life.
He says I have given him
comfort and compassion
when he has suffered so gravely.
He says my friendship and love
proceeds to stitch up the gash
in his broken heart.

In my arms he cried for her.

I keep asking myself
How many times do I
have to bring out my
mending tools to keep him going?
When will he realize the game 
she plays with his heart?
The emotional roller coaster 
she wont let him off.

In my arms he cried for her.

My heart aches for his release 
from the hold she has on him.
Will his heart let her go
to move on with his life?
Will the love that has begun 
between us out power the portion
that is left for her.?
Time will only tell what 
will become of us or him and her.

In my arms he cried for her.
