A picture of you
by
M A Heathcote
Paste me a picture
Paste me a picture
A picture of you
Of the last time I spent with you
Because the last time
I kissed you-I knew
There’d be no other picture
On my mind
Or in my soul-But you
So paste me a picture
With glue
Because I’m truly stuck
Stuck-on you
Truly devoid-Without love-Without you
And there’s no other abstract thing I can do
Without continually thinking of you
And there’s no other abstract thing
I can feel more real in my heart or head
Than to get naked
And wake the dead
And find life eternal as a dream
With you
Golden and eternal as you
Turning over four seasons
Eternal-With you
Where new horizons shine
Shine, shine through
With a picture of you
So paste me a picture
With glue
Because I’m truly stuck
Stuck-on you
Truly devoid-Without love-Without you...
