Portraits

Adam Richman


I woke up in a new home 
unsettled and alone, so 
desparate for a sense of 
what I want to hear 
the happiest of birthdays 
avoiding me as always 
a child living in 
naivet and fear 
she's tearing down the portraits I had drawn 
she's planning her attack and I'm her pawn 
I'm crying just in dealing with the fact that she is feeling that 
the love we have could easily be wrong 
my knuckles have stopped bleeding 
enough to make repeating 
the things that drive me crazy 
not worthwhile 
and now it's just a matter 
of watching this world shatter 
over a phone that can't 
hide a false smile 
she's tearing down the portraits I had drawn 
she's planning her attack and I'm her pawn 
I'm crying just in dealing with the fact that she is feeling that 
the love we have could easily be wrong 
don't mistake frustration with 
a lack of everything that's good 
just to reach her 
I did everything I could 
she's tearing down the portraits I had drawn 
she's planning her attack and I'm her pawn 
I'm crying just in dealing with the fact that she is feeling that 
the love we have could easily be wrong
