I gave in to temptation and fell so far from grace
I've lost all innocents and shame
But that's the price you pay for love
It's sometimes so unjust and unkind
But the forbidden fruit
It always tastes so good
Well isnt it strange
How much we gain
From all the sadness and the pain

Can
you
please
just
let
me
forget
you?

I fail in the most crucial of times
and yet you still love me
Even though I'm not perfect as you are
you still call me your son
An imperfect child honored in a perfect family
Overwhelmed am I by your grace,
forever will your love fulfill every thirst
and hunger my spirit may have
I will wander down this dark path of Life,
while knowing that I'll never be alone
or ever away from your presence

I first saw you as an impression
But the more I stared,
the more enraptured I became
wandering deep within your textures
the way an artist stares far beyond his favorite painting,
desperate to find its purpose
yet you were a untimely masterpiece,
that I could never come close to dream of painting

Speechless as I gazed upon your complexion
I could see your soul bleed through the paper
how deep I could feel myself falling in love
with every single emotion you made me feel
I hoped that with each meaningful glance,
I would discover every mystery you had kept secret
underneath every blemish you had disguised so well
an imperfect, yet beautiful painting you were
that glowed with the liveliest of colors...

Art had never felt so real.

Your words filled the crevices inside my mind and they manifested into that mess that you address me as

You simultaneously created and destroyed me
