Not sure what happened here, a bit too melancholy but it felt a shame to bin it. I was going to say I'll look at some happier art but it's not the picture at fault haha. I mean I wrote it just after getting back from the opticians - I did feel I had to face up to my mortality because I need reading glasses and I wasn't impressed. I nearly bought a new pair of slippers just to cheer myself up :)
It's hard to know what chipped away
Integral part or separate external stray
It's all important, not just for show
What chipped away, it's hard to know
Always what lingers what has been
That scene that sits within a scene
Reason long since slipped through fingers
What has been, always what lingers
Given time to think, placed in a room
How long will I maintain this bloom
Contemplative thoughts they link
Placed in a room, given time to think
These papered walls, they do not speak
My breath is held, whilst I'm at my peak
So vibrant, yet it's death that calls
They do not speak, these papered walls
On from here, what do I expect?
It's slow decline, not fast eject
Too beautiful for me to shed a tear
What do I expect, on from here?
