My emotions have spilled
In the form of paint
Onto masterpieces of old

Plastered on my face
Is a smile that hides
All negativity inside

I isolate myself
Far from attachments
I fall for art instead

I am a fleeting existence
In this world
Of constant change

Where everyone you love
Seems to disintegrate
Just when they start loving you back

Leave me to bask
In the warmth of this peace
Even for the smallest while

For the cold will consume me
And it all equals out

With a smile on her face
And such light in her eyes
You’d never think of
How much she cries every night

‘til her mouth runs dry
‘til her eyes turn red
Her strength is something
Something that overwhelms
