will you write for me?

If I say your words can save me

if I say your art can heal me

will you try?

 

Will you draw for me?

If I pull my arm apart for you

trim my fingernails, hand a brush to you

should I try?

 

Where’s your masterpiece?

Empty canvas, left my chest open to you

plunged a needle inside, drained my blood for you

is it dry?

 

Where’s the life in me?

Did you paint a couple hearts in red

or was it pink? Perhaps the colours bled

 

did I die?
