I Drew a Blank
Arranging his pens, he thought to himself
She said she wanted me to draw her love
and showcase it at my art show next week
Abstract or traditional...what to do?
I could try to capture her bubbly smile
She is effervescence personified...
Or turn my canvas into a mirror
to draw her eyes, ah...there would be her soul
Can her love be seen in flower blossoms
So many types of petals and colors
A sunrise may showcase her love's luster
Though beauty may be found in a sunset
Sunset indeed...he decides what to draw...
Art show opens to much paparazzi
They can't wait to see how he drew her love
Big reveal...and she can't quite catch her breath
He says... Breathtaking huh? Hard decision...
Focus on the rapture you used to give
or on the desolation I feel now
Yes, I know...you don't love me any more
Surprised? Only because I know the truth
How cruel to request me to draw your love
How can I draw what no longer exists?
So, that being the case, I drew a blank...
