If I Could Hear Her

By Carolyn Ferreira
I see your teardrops falling
I hear you cry my name
I know you can not see me
but I hold you just the sameI watch as you lie abed
as restless as can be
I hear your whispered words
as you pray for dreams of meevery day for you is painful
each breath, each step you take
