Love Poem: Portrait of a Broken Dream

Portrait of a Broken Dream

You painted the picture of who I should of been

The canvas began so white, so clean

Your vison was something you alone could see

A portrait of fidelity

How now do I return from such disgrace

God knows i'm in a lonely place

I know the route of lies without a map

Trusting in you, the faith I lacked

Yet I love you

I need you

Take the brush and cover over the imperfections

Belive this love can be ressurected

You cover both your beautiful eyes

Turn away from the me I so despise

Thats why I love you

Why I need you

Take the paint and begin a new

This time I vow, I will believe it too.
