Crippled and Tone-Deaf

I wish I had the hand to draw a picture of your face

Or the voice to sing or song

Could I have the strength to replace

All the thing I've done wrong?

If only I had the capacity to forget

The face I cannot remake, the song I cannot sing.

Perhaps I could draw your portrait

Of what I would see if I could look in those eyes once more

Those deep blues I adore.

Oh what a lovely picture I cannot create

But this song of ours?

It's effect would not be half as great

The song's beginning would tell of hope,

Passion, promises of a pleasurable future

Then, a darker tone,

For this is where I choose to discard two for one.

Though there are still possiblities for the end

Time will tell if the finale will end with joy

Crippled and tonedeaf, I am fortune's toy.

You can save me in time,

With your hand to steady mine.

With your voice to duet our rhyme.
