But

I've been staring at this paper
For the past 13 days,
And despite my efforts to change it
The outcome remains the same.

I'm trying to change the scenery
By painting with different words,
But no matter what colors I use,
The image still comes out blurred.

It's like my hands refuse to craft
What my eyes want to see.
But that's because my mind
Follows my heart blindly.

I'm changing up the tracks
Trying to create a different path.
But it seems like one big circle
Always leads me to our past.

I try to cover up the time
That we had spend together,
But whiteout doesn't work on life
And Band-Aids are no better.

You're woven into the fabric
Of this chapter in my life.
And it seems that I can't get you out
Without unraveling tonight.

So I put pen to paper
To get you off my mind.
But that just doesn't seem to work
Because you're here in every line.

So I erase and I erase
'til I realize I wrote in ink.
Then I take a second look around
And force myself to think.

I try to pay attention
And get my mind to focus.
But I can't stop juggling thoughts of you;
My mind has become a circus.

And since you'll probably read this
As I know you always do,
I thought that I should let you know
This one's about you too.
