Etched

She pants alone for reasons
things I couldn't understand
falling so long, these seasons
are drawn out with her crayon

she paints her favorite flower
while saving grace for the sun
she'll put it in her new window
so the light will see she's done

taking in frame her image
all the sides
burnt my eyes
when shes overstayin' her vintage
she'll feel my art deep inside

oho, everything faint and sullen
please forget that I'm annoyin'
I've never felt so swollen
in my life...

is she done sketchin' stars above
will she stop rhymin' with heart-love
she wont stop drawin' hearts because
the words just aren't enough...

she'll create a place for us to spend
those long nights caught without a bed
I'll protect her as an artist's smock
I'll endeavor her flavor I always sought

but i'll just be etched in the end
she'll etch me in the end...
