What can you say?

What Can You Say?

What can you say?
When your holding a child,
who innocence was just taken away.
What can you say?

How can you tell them it'll be okay?
That the pain is temperary.
When you know, the soul will die someday.
What can you say?

What can you say, to end their tears?
What can you say, to make them safe?
What can you say, to end their fears?
What can you say?

When no justice is found today.
When the child screams into the night.
When a child is the one to pay.
What the hell can you say?

You can say "hush, its okay",
but it won't end their pain.
You can say "it'll end some day"
What can you say?

You can say "I'll kill him dead".
You can say "I wish it different,
not you, but me instead".
What can you truly say?

You say not a word, nothing will end it all.
No words will end the pain, the shame
Just hang on and with the child bawl.
What can you say?

Hold the child, and say
"I believe you,I love you".
Cause then the child will know it'll be okay,
that people still care......

What can you say?
How can you tell a child,
that all will be okay?
When their soul is gone,stolen.

What can you say?
Just what can you say?
How can you tell a child, raped today,
that all will be okay?

The pain is planted deep
You can't say nothing,
its something we will always keep.
No matter what ya say,

Just tell them you still love them true
Just be there, to hold the child
The reason we survive it, is because of you....
What can you say, besides giving your love?

Just hold us close,giving us love
Cause if we have you close
everything else we'll rise above,
What can you say, besides I believe you?

i liked it and once again I found it a bit choppy...but still a great poem overall. emotionally you hit a very good point...if someone had told me they believed from the beginning...I would have been a lot better off.
