I'll put your picture in a frame,
Maybe paint just your smile,
But I've never been good
with a brush,
nor with a pen,
nor even with words.
My words are too sad,
My heart too heavy.
Even my smiles are lead,
plagued by gravity,
heavy as the rainfall,
silent as a teardrop.
They crawl across my flesh,
Those memories, hopes,
And all that is left are
water-color roses,
somber rainfall,
quickly fading stars.
