      Black & Blue

      His eyes are dark with fury

      Her eyes a cornflower hue

      I am a product of their hopes once,

      My eyes are black and blue

      His doubts became his prison

      Her beauty ran him through

      I am a witness to such cruelty

      My thoughts are black and blue

      His passion turned to anger

      Her love to pastures new

      I am the keeper of their secrets

      My soul is black and blue

      His trust became his poison

      Her lies too long were true

      I am a shadow in this dark place

      My dreams are black and blue

      His heart
