The Artist
torrey Jan 2015
I want to be with an artist
Someone who will fall in love
with my every flaw and detail
Lead me through this dark trail
Someone who will find beauty in the way
I laugh too loud or the freckle on my nose
He could paint over all the cracks
that leave me bleeding
Fill them full from all the loathe
Someone who finds our love so captivating
he couldn't dream of it being ruined
His grip never loosened
Treasured like one of his paintings
Only I could cure his cravings
A work of art
You and I
His one true masterpiece
Our love a muse to all he could be
But this is all one silly dream

The Fox
torrey Jan 2015
Her daddy pushed her on the swing
She thought about this, she thought about that
He brought her home toys
Presented with a hug
Presented with a kiss
He stopped coming home at night, stopped carrying her to sleep
Very (agile), very (mischievous)
He stopped coming to dinner, stopped tucking her into bed
He brought home another woman
Presented her with a hug
Presented her with a kiss
Her heart filled with lies and deceit
She was a lot like you or I
Very funny, very (sly)
She could make you laugh
She could make you think
So elegant, so chic
Beauty that made you stop and blink
Mistaken as heartless
Maybe a *****
But inside she was the moon and we were the sun
She had hydrangeas growing in her bones
Stars enchanted her every touch
But she was so lost
Left behind in this dark forest
She couldn't see the sunset she could paint with only her soul
Convinced she was wrong
That is was all her fault
"You're never gonna make it"
She keeps walking through the dark
Listening for your voice, feeling for your touch
Cold and alone
You're all she's ever looked for
Her dad doesn't push her on the swing
She still thinks about this, she still thinks about that
He takes her out to dinner
No hug
No kiss
The words in parenthesis are words to describe a fox
