An artist with fire
A heart scarred like the stripes on a tiger
Drawing lines dark and blurry dreaming of a time we were one
Oil on the canvas shaping the sad faces of the moon and sun
A significant twist in life like a knot in a noose
Why has the light left me why is it I'm searching so soon
Years wasted while I waited patient,
And all you had was a story swept away from a selfish feeling of swoon
It's sad to see, it's hurtful to hear its terrible to touch and scary to feel
Wishes given away and dreams mean nothing
An artist spun on life wearing a quilt hiding from love
Star chasing and looking above waiting on the call knowing the void is coming

As you wait patiently for me to come around.. I will be a magic dragon floating on a cloud
High above the universe drifting and gazing at its beauty
Staying safe from lies and heart break
I was yours truly!

Loving myself until earth freezes
A long time to feel warm
A long time to be happy
a long time to be alone  
A long time ago what happened!!!
