I have to write this perfect poem,
In case I go blind.
That way I will have the perfect picture,
Forever in my mind.

Hey, I'm bleeding,
I'm in dire need of band aids.
Never mind,
It's on the inside.

The words I paint,
Will be the canvas,
On which my memories are forever engraved.

Each stroke of pen,
A brushstroke of love,
All vibrant and never to fade.

Every verse, a masterpiece,
Capturing the beauty
I find in every shade.
This is my perfect poem.
