I painted a picture once,
A very long time ago.
Your eyes were the background,
And your smile the sky.
Green waves of sea rolled in your bright eyes,
The foam licking at the grey morning.
The sun rose high in the sky,
Casting a glow over oil and color.

I examined a picture once,
Just yesterday it was.
Your eyes were the background
And your smile the sky.
Black waves rolled out into the sea,
The rocks jagged and sharp.
Clouds covered the bright full moon
Spreading darkness on an oil painted world.

I cried over a picture once,
Washing away perfect sunsets…
Your eyes are blurred now,
And your smile a frown.
