Cautious heart

Cautious heart
I should have known
already from the beginning
the picture was clearly painted
Why did I choose to ignore it?

Cautious heart
I can’t let go of feeling hurt
The picture I visioned
was so much bigger
Why can’t you be true to it?

Cautious heart
I feel the contraction
Can hardly be in my body
though I know I am the painter
of my own canvas
Why does it pain so much?

Cautious heart
I should have known
Can’t let go of feeling hurt
I feel the contraction
Why did I choose to ignore it?

Cautious heart
Already from the beginning
Could hardly be in my body
Can’t let go of feeling hurt
Why can’t I be true to it?

Cautious heart
the picture is clearly painted
it is so much bigger
than the frame of my own canvas
Why does it pain so much?
