Pictures of You
Pictures of you
Scattered across the floor of eternity.
I wish you knew
What just one of those means to me.
Things rapidly changing,
Nothing what it seems to be.
I’m holding on for you.
I’m holding on for life, you see
By a single scarlet thread,
If I let go, it’s over for me.
Not just between us,
But permanently.
Pictures of me
Dissolve in the flames of irony.
Who knew-
That a person like you could have
Done what you did to me.
It’s never fair.
I know I can wait.
I know I can hang on,
My grip is vice-like
I plow through my problems
While singing a song.
But it’s not the same.
Pictures of life
Slipping through my hands
Before I can take a glance.
I can’t ask life to give me
Even half a chance.
Instead I’ll take it.
Cause I want it.
Cause I want you.
I know it’s futile…
But I’m a fool that way.
