....But, if I were to paint a picture,
I would start with an blank canvas,
And a clean paintbrush,
Hopefully that would be enough,
To tell the story that keeps playing in my head,
The story we left behind on that bed…


I have never been much of an artist,
But, if I were to be called one it would probably be because I painted us,
Body to body,
I would make love to the paper,
Let my paint brush win,
Paint with the same passion I felt when we were skin to skin..

Tell me it’s all in my head,
So that I don’t waste my time wiping my tears,
Or tossing and turning in my bed.

Hold me tight in your arms,
Let me hear your heart race.
Lie to me to keep me calm,
