"A Picture on My Soul"

I was outside this morning

Watching the sun come up.

And i kept thinkin about you.

About how i wanted you to

Draw me a picture.



A picture with reds and blues.

With greens and purples.

With blood and tears.

Shed from me and you.





Something that would be great.

And be remembered forever.

Something I could cherish.

And know was mine forever.



Something that could make me smile.

Even while im crying my eyes out.

Something that i could hold

Against my heart to feel yours.



Something that i know could save me.

Even when im so close to letting go

When im down to my lowest point

And death is the favored option.



Then i glanced at the sun again

And was blinded by its light.

But my eyes didnt begin to hurt

Instead i saw a picture.



It made me cry and smile

And i realized that

The picture i thought i needed

Was already mine forever.



You have already drawn me a picture

Not on paper with a pen

But on my soul

With your words.
