Ink (I Want)

Change of perspective

If my heart could paint a picture, your silhouette would be my Mona Lisa

But today just didn't work out in my favor, Ill say…

Let the needs outweigh the wants and let the trees grow…for once

Let my character shed the shadows

The wind passing through the leaves, desperate to hang on

The friction between us is just fiction beneath us…we can rise above

Leaping over infernos, the edges of my toes singed with ghosts of yesterday

My fingertips grazing the blue temptations of the sky…arousing a glimpse of tomorrow

But I cant see clearly through a glimpse…

The truth disguised in the dreams we wake to soon to believe in

It’s exposed in the love notes we to often never receive

And I perceive this day differently 

(I want to be your smile behind a flower)

(I want to be the beam of sunlight peeking through the blinds reminding you that today is beautiful)

(I want to be the check mark on your calendar…counting the days until you see me again)

(And I want to be the ink in your pen…when you write…I love You)

But today I find it hard to breathe a sigh of relief

When the best parts of life…always tend to push me away

And I'm left to stew in all things I simply cannot do for you, for them, for myself

I can’t help but feel the strain

Ill receive this day differently

(I want to be your snooze button when you don’t want to lose any sleep)

(I want to be the footprints...that led you straight to me)

(I want to be the snowflakes...on your favorite winter day)

(I just want to be there...I just want to stay)

And I just want to be the ink in your pen…when you write…I love you

The same way you became the ink to my thoughts when I think…I’ll miss you.

And I just want to be the ink in your pen...when you write...I love you -- such a beautiful line! I'm entranced by this image and concept...to be the ink in someone's pen--not unlike my idea of being a muse in my recent piece. Too bad this often does not last.

You have written in a very conversational, train of thought manner in this piece, which speaks to the emotion. So many great lines and words. Very well done.

Derek this was such a great piece. The imagery was beautiful as were the choices in words!! If I wasn't on my phone I'd quote my fav lines but that takes too much work lol it was truly lovely to read though and it brings out such sad and sincere emotions! Well done
