Softly

I don't need you to say
Pain is coming close
I know all too well
By the force of your hand

I am so afraid
You have crushed my will
As my tears run softly down

I ask you to stop
You continue anyway
Is this what you call love
As I shut my eyes

I could have been free
Without your chains
But my tears still run softly down

Will I ever know
A life away from you
As my tears still run softly down
