I Like To Draw...

I was friends with a girl who likes to draw,
The pictures were for only her eyes.
As artistic as she was…
Late at night,

Her drawings were much different.
No paper, nor pen.
But she needed a bandage,
as she wore long sleeves again.

We stood by the shore,
under the stars.
When she rolled up her sleeves,
And showed me her scars.

She was ever so embarrassed,
as she glanced at her shoe.
I rolled up my sleeve and whispered,
“I draw too.”
