(rough copy) I dare you to paint me To convey my soul through your art Let me first taste a glass of wine Let it drip from my lips as I try to forget For the one I loved is no longer here Paint my melancholy Paint my sadness Paint my madness Paint all of me or nothing at all! Help me forget that I am dying Each breath I take one step closer to my death Help me forget what love felt like Yet remind me of what it meant Paint me before dawn Let my naked body be exposed to the light Paint my curves Paint my passions Don't let your hands tremble as you capture me Paint me with intensity Undress me with your art and your gaze Remind me of every touch and every kiss drawn on my skin Help me travel back in time when my love and I were one Paint me with anger and fury Expose all my secrets on canvass With the colors of the rainbow paint my desires Paint with white my soul Paint the blackness of my pain For he is no longer here And tonight I drink alone. Sofia E. Falcone
