Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI JKLMNOPQRSTUUVRWXY ZA2B2C2D2E2F2G2H2AI2 I2ALI am a portrait of you | A |
That's what kept flying through my ears | B |
Even before I learnt to walk or talk | C |
But each time I cast my mind back | D |
The structure that you tried to put up | E |
The foundation you laid | F |
Has fallen completely apart by your own hands | G |
So how can I be a chip of the old block | H |
When you put everything to self destruct | I |
- | |
Your house was washed ashore | J |
By your own raged waves | K |
You stored anger | L |
On the anchor that was meant | M |
To hold the storm in your sails | N |
So she the one you carelessly sent off your ship | O |
Joined another sail and Surfed to a treasure island | P |
And now you are wrecked | Q |
Left alone on a no man's land | R |
Trying to find your way back home | S |
From being washed ashore to loneliness and regrets | T |
Abandoned your only son in the middle of no where | U |
With his feet dangling in the air | U |
Struggling to swim away from | V |
This deserted barren piece of land | R |
Suffocating and gasping for breath | W |
To escape drowning in this | X |
Sands of time | Y |
- | |
This quicksand you planted | Z |
Under my feet has reached | A2 |
The peak of cultivation | B2 |
And it keeps yielding hold backs | C2 |
And blockages from attaining goals | D2 |
Embrace me into your warm arms | E2 |
You are made of thorns and ice | F2 |
Always cold towards me | G2 |
Like you love me more than life | H2 |
Stay away from me I want to be with you | A |
I despise you you are my first love | I2 |
You showed me no love | I2 |
Yet I can not hate you | A |
For blood they say is thicker than water | L |
