Does Anyone Care

By Bruce Clifford 

Don’t mind me
I might turn the page
I’m not ignoring you
Nor am I in a rage
Just walking away

Don’t think twice
I might take a bow
It’s not the resistance
I never knew how
From then til now

I can’t take the pain
The broken promises and strain
Say it again
Show me one more time again

I can’t take the selections
They lead to nowhere
Does anyone care
Does anyone care
Does anyone care

Late at night
I might talk in my sleep
They can hear me from there
You can’t feel me from here

Don’t mind me
I might walk through a cloud
I’m not forgetting our time
Just thinking out loud
Pain should never be allowed

I can’t make those decisions
They lead to nowhere
Does anyone care
Does anyone care
Does anyone care
