Black and Blue Heart Melody

It doesn’t matter what I say You don’t listen anyway Wipe away those silent tears away No more sun ~ just rainy days Dreams & laughter don’t linger here The vibrant smile has lost its cheer Inside the box is where I stay Visions of heaven swept away Golden dreams all turned to gray A heart full of love - now foul decay Broken memories shatter to the floor You walk away & slam the door Hate echo’s loud for all to hear Embarrassed eyes try not to stare Quietly that too fades away One more day bleeds into one more day Love was here where did it go The question asked ~ but no one knows Was it ever here to stay Or was it just a game to play I look for answers in your eyes Seeking truth and finding lies It doesn’t matter what I say You don’t listen anyway You whisper love into my ear Promises I fail to hear Empty words fall to the ground It’s just your voice, you like the sound They leave a smile upon your face Same as the devil fell from grace I pray for peace & nothing more To embrace the darkness of the shore It doesn’t matter what I say You don’t listen anyway I chose the path I ride along Now my heart sings this weary song
