A Portrait
I am so filled with this desire
I refuse to let it out
Holding strong on to pain
Having given in to all my doubts
Fond of playing this waiting game
My turn is up but I’m not there
I’m hiding down the trail
Focus lost but I don’t care
All I want is a hint
Just a scratch on the surface
To see what will come
To have a sense of purpose
This blank slate tells no tales
It also tells no lies
I find it comfortably predicatble
Still I yearn time to time
Can I glimpse this slate of yours?
Let me see in to your mind
I want to view your secrets
To know if you are my kind
I promise to put things back
Back to where they belong
The urge to ‘fix’ is great
But I know how to get along
I want to draw a portrait
The best you have ever seen
To share with you the beauty
That only comes in my dreams
I want to graffiti your walls
With lingering thoughts of me
To give a subtle hint
Of something we could be
