Love of Art
Did you ever see a future with me?
Because most woman want a man
But I waited for you to outgrow your
Boy tendencies
Yet you’re still here breaking Lego hearts
And drawing out our hopeless story
On walls like graffitti
Somewhat like what we are
Beautilful yet ugly
How old are we?
Fleeting eyes and worry
Once viewed as art but now
we’re vandalizing public property?
Forgotten and painted over
We could’ve been Picassos and Van Goghs
Now we’re criminals
But even in Orange jumpsuits
My heart shoots like splatter art on a canvas
When it sees you
Maybe you could alter your purpose and about face
From tag ups to landscapes
Would you change for me?
Drop your childish ways and be a man for me?
Let me be a prized piece in your gallery?
Or are you done with me?
Your eyes speak differently
And I’m still here wondering
Why I continue to want you?
When I don’t recieve the emotions
But you say I gotta meet you half way
That I was being shy, have to be more risque
Wasn’t initiating the start of a masterpiece
But I was the one waiting, patiently…
Most people don’t drive at red lights
So what do you expect me to do
When a few months ago
You were saying the timings not right?
I was there in front of you, and you let me leave
If I gotta take the actions of the man
Then who are you supposed to be?
We were supposed to be beautiful
Banksy, Marquis Lewis, You and Me
All artist in love with their paintings
Our grafitti is fading
Painted over, until our stories are forgotten
