The First Silent Night

I once fell deeply in love with a guy named Shane
All I could do is watch him suffer in pain.
The bruises got darker with each passing day,
I wanted to show him in time it will be all okay.
The sun sets and he gently kisses me goodnight,
In the house next door he's out of my sight.
Laying in bed, I heard his desperate cries.
There will be another bruise, followed by many lies.
He said one day he was going to marry me
Because I was the only girl he wanted to see.
Everyday I wished I could take his pain away,
He screams out and all I can do is pray.
I dread I will never see his smile again,
There's just so many deep wounds to mend.
I knew he will never get love from his drunk dad,
In his eyes, I see a boy so hopelessly sad.
My heart breaks with each sound of a fight,
I knew he was dead when I heard the first silent night...
