Sorrows of a soggy painting
Here I am trying to cover the walls
That is stained with all the sorrows of yesterday
Looking back, sure I could’ve done things differently
But we went our own paths and I’m still indifferent
For you, I wanted to give the world
Now I’m here trying to erase the murals
That were once engraved with our smiles

Misery needs company but why me?
I’m just a lone wolf hunting for the chance to be free
I close my eyes and all I see is the fading glimpse of what we used to be

We were only two kids not a care in the world
Never one without the other, we needed each other
I would look in your eyes with you right back at mine
Beginning a new chapter not thinking about the time
Pure bliss engulfed my mind I felt so alive

But one night everything seemed to changed
You didn’t respond to my texts or my calls
Until it was too late you said “we need to talk”

Thinking about us but expecting the worst
I walked in the room and saw my heart on the table
Crushed and bruised, can this please be a fable?
I fell to my knees and couldn’t even breathe
Choked up on the idea of what we could be
Why, why did this happen to me?

Your perception of the bigger picture changed
Morphed into a brush caked with too many colors
In your new vision I was not part of the final piece
So you decided to let loose the agony of one painting
And prance along numerous pictures of those young and old
To feed your soul drowned in lust and desire
So deep you don’t know if you’re using the right tools anymore
I think my final picture is better without her, but I do miss the warmth of another
