Fragile

This heart I hold in my hands 
So young and so afraid 
Paying for the mistakes I made 

I know with each tear he cries 
A part of him slowly dies 
All hope is left behind 

He has his needs and his dreams 
But in his eyes the despair screams 
Haunted by nightmares of death and loss 

What can I do to help you through? 
It may be of no use but I love you 
And pray you reach the day you understand
