I drew a picture of you, so long ago It seems another lifetime, behind me (Though I know it to be closer to a distant yesterday) It was a picture that I never finished I tried...and tried But, I couldn't draw your eyes... There is something about those eyes That is above my understanding, beyond my ability A light, a spark, a mystery... So, the picture lays unfinished, incomplete Begging to be made whole, almost crying out to me But, I cannot finish it, I do not have the heart to I could not do it before, I couldn't do you justice Why would I be able to now? It's not like anything has changed... Or have things changed? Is the picture different, different then before? Again I crash into those questions Or do they crash into me? I can never really tell, you know Never know for sure, for certain It's all just a blur, a hazy heat wave of confusion Surrounding me, again...suffocating, saving... Threads and shreds of truthes, flash before my eyes The stars fall from the heavens The sun splits in two, and the moon starts to smile The world turns upside down, again (Or is it right-side up?) And I see these things in your eyes Eyes that I could never draw... |
