Casualty

I'll explode my words on to your canvass
My love is the bomb
You love to paint
Paint with what's left of me
The shreds clump
To remind you of what I was
Stroke a beautiful scene
Dip your brush in the obscene
My voice avoids your ear
My words sneak past
My efforts fall short
You don't see me
You see only what you wish
I hand you the knife
Only to see you smile
Wipe the blade clean
Now watch me fall
I'll bleed out
And smile for you
As long as you stare
With those beautiful browns
But your mind is somewhere else
I'm just a casualty
Caught in the fire of your love

It sounds something like a typically love story almost. This man is trying to get the attention of the one he loves. But fails. I feel like he is trying to get this woman to do something she's not supposed to, but she is calmly fighting back. Loved it!

hmmm... and if we only were capable of fully leaving things were they are. perhaps that is the way things are meant to be. well written. one always seems to give more than the other.
