He's an Artist
He's an artist
Who uses tools of silver but draws out red
His thoughts keep him tossing and turning in bed
In the foggy light of the bathroom, his talent is best scene
He cries as he draws about what he could have been
He cries every day under the tree by the creek
Biting his lips to cease the tears, not wanting to seem weak
But one day under the silvery calm moonlight
There stood a girl with eyes burning bright
She stepped closer to the edge, wanting to unite with the water and fill her holes
But she stopped cold upon seeing the bloody artwork on his soul
With a sigh, she rolled her sleeves and whispered, "I draw too."
Tears glistened his eyes but he said, "I'll help you."
