Mona Lisa

So many nights are wasted
As I drink myself to sleep
So many breaths are wasted
With words that cut so deep.
I spend so much time waiting
To see if you’ll show through
I don’t even know who you are
But hope your eyes hold true.
I’d watch you in my drunken dreams
Hoping somehow you might care
I’d watch for your shadow on my wall
But know that you weren’t there.
Your smile chills me no end, Mona Lisa
Your cracked and old and fading
You stole my dreams, my hope, Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa, I'm the one fading.
