Graphite Tears

Graphite Tears


From the front, I see the room,
every desk and bag and tack.
From the front, I see the kid.
I see the kid in back.

I see the way his hair falls down,
to hide his face and eyes.
I see the way his hair falls down.
This view I do despise.

From the front, I watch him as,
he sheds his graphite tears.
From the front, I watch him as,
his work of art appears.

From the front, I watch him change,
now that he's found his heart.
From the front, I watch him change,
now that he's found his part.

From the front, I see myself.
I see my graphite tears.
From the front, I see myself,
within those graphite tears.


Forever and For always
