SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PICTURE

The frame is simple, plain black
The painting is weird almost savage
A pot head, a drug dealer,
A cheater and a whore
And all of the them smiling
to the sympathetic eye of the painter
And I’m standing there
Looking from the outside
It seems I don’t understand art
It seems I don’t understand life
The pot head becomes a host
The drug dealer an icon
The whore a best friend
And I feel I’ve been cheated
‘Cause I’m looking again
And a black figure shows up
Unable  to sustain himself or some kids
Modeling naked for the outside world
Getting all kind of compliments
While a train passes by
Carrying on the second floor a cheater who smiles
And the painter drinks red wine with the whore
The pot head fires smoke out
The drug dealer laughs with richer hands
And I’m still standing there
Feeling cheated again
Reaching with my hand up center
This can’t be happening to me
It seems I don’t understand art
It seems i don’t understand life
I have to sit in front of the painting
The smoke is filling the air
I can hardly breathe
The bottle of red wine is almost empty
The drug dealer has left with gold in hand
The whore ends up drunk in loneliness
The smoke almost cover the canvas
I can’t see the black guy anymore
But there is somebody leaving
Someone who seems young
The distortion won’t let me see him
The painting got really wild
And I’m fading trying to make sense of
What the picture was all about
It seems I don’t understand art

It seems I don’t understand life

ABANDONMENT


It's more painful to cry internally
Not to let those tears flow
To close my eyes and see the past
Not as it really was
But as it was supposed to have been
Not able to go back and fix
All those mistakes I know I made
Moments which made me smile
A clown sad mile impossible to erase
One tear only drawn in my face
Sour taste of your absence
And the same sad song over and over
Hammering piano inside my brain
My body's shaking and aching
Some fingers feeling a ring that's no more there
Empty space in a dark hole inside my chest
Pain of the body, pain of the soul
Trying to leave that point of no return
Defeated, broken, hopeless
The abandonment is around the corner
Thinking that this is just the beginning
Knowing the pain will increase

Acknowledging I will die alone without you.
