Portrait
You live your life
like you're
on fire
But I could never
dance gracefully enough
for your flame's
desire
Paint runs
Ink bleeds but
I could still draw you
perfectly
Even if I were blind
and could not see
I'd give up my eyes
for you to see
clearer
I'd give my
fingertips
to touch you
forever
I live my life
hiding behind
shadows
And I can't breathe
when
I need you
here with me
If I close my eyes
I can
still see you
But that will
never
be enough
I long to
again feel you
