Art, You Tease

You are that piece of art

The one stuck in our minds

 

Your body is the empty canvas

That sits there taunting artists

"Paint me into being, color in my heart.

Bring this dream to life,

don't let this work stay white."

 

You want attention constantly

Demanding that you're there

 

The haunting blankness of your page

Makes us hide in fear

"I am what you make of me.

Take up the pen and mark my lines,

Fill me with your song."

 

And one day when we're not looking

Suddenly you're gone.
