Why cling to portraits, eyes consumed?
Why clutch a painted self, when I'm in bloom?
A glance towards me, what do you assume?
Why cling to portraits, eyes consumed?
In my disgrace, they too partake, the same,
In my disgrace, they bear a share of blame.
Why whisper tales to those who know my name?
Why cling to portraits, eyes consumed?
Near, yet you failed to know my heart's true beat,
Near, yet you couldn't see the soul's retreat.
From afar now, why wave with hollow feet?
Why cling to portraits, eyes consumed?
Your life entwined with self, a constant fight,
Your life in shadows, lost in endless night.
Why use my shadow now to bring the fright?
Why cling to portraits, eyes consumed?
I am not yours, I'm foreign to your plea,
I am not yours, or part of your decree.
But gazing at me, what do you see?
Why cling to portraits, eyes consumed?
A glance towards me, what do you assume?
Why cling to portraits, eyes consumed?
