Sketchpad
and every time things start to look up
the world beeats us down
and life decides against us
and somehow, we're apart again
and every time i try to hold on tighter
there are no handles
there are no grips
and suddenly i'm falling
and every time i try to grab your hand
you slip out of reach
and i can't see you anymore
and my face slips under water
and i'm left sketching empty hearts
tears staining the paper
and words won't come to pen
and a little flame in me flickers
in a high wind.
