The Writing Thread

[BrokenHearted]

I didn't wanna let this thread die... I love reading everything you guys write, Stevie fans are so talented



Anyway, I wrote this about a boy I fell in love with, but it's also largely about my cocaine addiction


Paint

My heart races
I pace across this room
My heart is a room...
My body is a house with empty spaces
Long ago, I gave my heart to you
And never really got it back, only traces...

I wish I could paint what I'm feeling
But the canvas would be all black
I wish I could paint myself on you
So I could remember what I've been through
And remind myself to not go back
Not to give myself again to you...

The night lies still
But I can't sleep again
Not even in my dreams, my friend
You're only a ghost, lonely... unreal
And I wish this emptiness would heal
And I wish this emptiness would end

I wish I could paint what I'm feeling
But the canvas would be all black
I wish I could paint myself on you
So I could remember what I've been through
And remind myself not to go back
Not to give myself up for you...

I'm only a ghost
Of the person I used to be
I remember the day, I prayed...
That I could return to those days
And, now, here I am in those same shoes
Walking in the shadows of truth

I wish I could paint what I'm feeling
But the canvas would be all black
I wish I could paint myself on you
So I could remember what I've been through
And remind myself to not go back
Not to give myself to you...
