Listen Hard

Stay strong and open your ears, heart, and mind Because the bitter earth is seeping into a freshly cut wound And sometimes we don’t want to hear that which we should be listening to the most And sometimes words just come and go like yesterday to tomorrow Why do we make promises we can’t keep Actions speak louder than words and I let you keep talking sweet nothings Because that’s all your words amounted to And the only truth was the commitment to your lies But I’m learning and still living Funny thing is I’ll make the same mistake again before I fully comprehend Guess everyone goes through their fair share of bad apples before becoming fruitful p.s. don’t tell me show me…
