Our Portrait Of Love

Needs to be re-drawn

I asked you to draw me a portrait of love
But in this one you’ve shown I’ve no place,
Look closely at the picture and the frame
Not what I imagined, it’s a battered disgrace.

This portrait paints a picture of heartbreak
Along with a mural of our pain and tears,
Looking closely you’ll see an image of hurt
And shows off in fine detail, all of our fears.

I’m lying here studying this picture of ours
And I’m waiting, ever so patiently for you,
You see this picture is missing a piece
In this portrait of love that you drew.

I’m begging and praying that you’ll return
Bringing your pencils, without any delay,
Together again we can fix up the frame
And you can re-draw the portrait our way.

Thank you for reading.

If you enjoyed this piece, you may also enjoy this one.
