She slowly walked down the hall, the bells had long ago tolled It's the only thought she can hold She paused at the painting she had rendered by her hand crying because she didn't understand How every day he could walk past it totally ignoring the subject How his steps along the hall didn't make him pause and reflect He never noticed her demise in each brush stroke He never contemplated how she would choke As each colour was layered on a pristine white background Never noticed, how the vein bled saturating the white with no sound He never stopped to stare or try to straighten the picture She stopped almost habitually praying silently a stricture ***Don't let me die tonight while he never gets my Art... Let the picture speak a thousand words While he stares at my broken heart***

Death of a Wife
She slowly walked down the hall, the bells had long ago tolled It's the only thought she can hold She paused at the painting she had rendered by her hand crying because she didn't understand How every day he could walk past it totally ignoring the subject How his steps along the hall didn't make him pause and reflect He never noticed her demise in each brush stroke He never contemplated how she would choke As each colour was layered on a pristine white background Never noticed, how the vein bled saturating the white with no sound He never stopped to stare or try to straighten the picture She stopped almost habitually praying silently a stricture ***Don't let me die tonight while he never gets my Art... Let the picture speak a thousand words While he stares at my broken heart***
