Understand

I suddenly fell for the idea of something 

I perceived looking beyond your frame

gave my faith in a stare without second guessing

since I used to think of love as a mere distraction 

for those who don’t devote themselves to an inner flame

but I saw in your picture how sweet a contradiction 

it looks like a world created to be okay just existing

because this life is all pain but you are a painting

 

And I’ll be your constant despite my fears

that you could confuse me with the other stares

people who don’t notice, going backwards and forwards

that there’s more than myself when I’m reflected on you

 

But you can’t see the beauty of your secret 

reminding me of the outer silence I felt

when human, alone, unusual and moonlit 

I drew all the sins I never had the courage to admit 

Just like that I take out of my head the image of you

I crumple the page again deceiving in a breakthrough 

seems like I put paint in giving you my wit

and just your presence made me demolish it

 

I needed you because the landscape was fading

I was lost in all different visions of myself

these given pictures had all my name

when I met your eyes I looked into my true self 

and all the options became the same

but with a kiss I’ll ruin you and touches will be smears

so from far away I’ll love how time vanishes in you

 

You are a masterpiece without dying hours

I believed art was all truth until I tried to be yours

tell me this collapsing reality is not like us

if you gave me a fake meaning would I be eternal too?

 

It’s taking me where love becomes real and I fear to forget

how the colours looked so boring once I yours met

never thought you could be a pain thing to deal with 

but many late nights I still wrote about you, would you believe it?

Please I need you to, trapped in the marble soul of a statue 

I found out eyes don’t express enough of the view

whose sense might change with me as my mind is misfit

yet the shape remains identical because you are a portrait
