My Picture of You

June 23rd, 2009 by Tim

If I had to paint a picture
What would it be?

A Life full of happiness or a life just in vain
Is it a picture of me having my first bike ride?
Or an imagination of you being my bride?
My father said paint something that completes me
But I wondered, what about something that breaks me

So what is this picture I had to paint?
I tried so hard to find the perfect picture
To depict what I want for my past, present and future
I pulled out a picture of you and me
I guess it was everything I wanted to see
With you beside me
Something I wanted in reality

What is this I see?
Someone save me from my insanity
Just paint one picture for me
And somehow I can set my self free
Now the picture is clearer to me
I just really want you and me
Guess that’s the picture I’m never gonna see
I just have to paint it in my memory

    This is an Amazing poem.
    It tells how you loved this person but they broke your heart and you are just starting to let go and accept the fact that you wont be with them again.
    I love it! it touches me because i went through the same ordeal. You are truely an inspiration to me.

    Thanks Ben, It was really based on experience. There are times that you think it will never end, but some stuff happens, maybe for the best. We all believe that in the end things happen for the better, it may not be clear to us now, but in the end we will eventually understand why.
