Painted Words

Painted words from innocent souls

Can pierce the hardest hearts

The slightest touch of gentleness

Is where the poet starts

He can reach inside the deepest void

To redeem your memories

Give you back your hopes and dreams

And possibilities

He can wipe away your broken smile

From all the promises lost

He can paint tomorrow one more time

No matter what the cost

He can paint the heart to beat again

Though broken it may be

He can take the lies you carry inside

And show you honesty

He can dry the tears of liquid pain

That stains your pillow case

He can paint the sun to rise again

No matter what you face

Painted words from innocent souls

Know exactly what to say

If you'll listen to the poet's words

He'll chase the pain away
