Matter

What does it matter now?
Thrill wasn't all it was supposed to be.
The joy can't seem to stay.
Darkness and light just become grey.

What does it matter now?
Ivory lace and pearls are gone.
Promises are words full of nothing.
With blinders on, i can't see a thing.

What does it matter now?
The laughter and tears of a child.
Joys beyond compared in her eyes.
Tears in my heart, i can only cry.

What does it matter now?
A question with no answer.
Pain and sorrow can only be seen.
Joys of the past seem only a dream.
