Those Blues Singer Blues...Continued


Part 2

Let the record
Stand still
While I give you
My fill
On my mixed up
Dangled emotions
Circulatin’ through
The air and floatin’
Leavin’ you with
A bittersweet taste
One you’ll remember
And can’t erase
My blues have been hidden
In an inner place
But I’m ready to
Reveal those blues
On my pretty face

I held his heart
In my very hand
At that moment I held
The secret to his every plan
I wanted to keep it
For my own satisfaction
Cuz with every action he made
I carried the reaction
The way he used to look at me
Was so sweet and kind
But like darkness that
Overpowers the sunlight
His eyes shifted and I became
Far from a delight
I don’t know what happened
To make him change
But its his mind
Not his heart I blame
I still see the way
He fights with his eyes
Raging a war between
His anger and silent cries
With such passion
I’m askin’
If it was really meant
Between him and I
The only thing I can do
Is recollect and reply
“Some love is just too good to last.”
So I’ll just remember at least
We’ll have the past

Love is the main source
For the blues
Maybe the heart shouldn’t
Be red but blue
Causin’ heartache
With every pulsating beat
We can’t live without it
So the pain we keep
The heart is such
An unpredictable thing
So I understand blues singer
It is the reason why you sing
Every now and again
Don’t be alarmed by my presence
Just know that I got
Those same blues pressin’
So don’t be shocked
That you’re not alone in your sufferin’
Together we can paint the midnight sky
And start colorin’
The whole town
Not red but blue
