Picture perfect
With lines that can’t be seen
I don’t think she knows
How pretty she may be
She seems contained
But then she'll break free
The frame is just for show
Where I watch in the gallery
There she is, free to go
I try to lift her up
But she’s lighter than I thought
My thoughts were that
She can’t be read
No, not on a wall
She’s perfect like a picture
But she’s six feet tall
I saw in the news
How they stole another piece
I don’t have her
I didn’t even set her free
I saw her walking on the clouds
Please hurry
Before she gets away
Did I take her?
No, it’s impossible
But indeed
I have been framed

Some very fresh ideas in this one. I really like it, but I do find myself wanting to know more. Maybe that's exactly what you're trying to do...provide intrigue and desire. If so, it's working.

wayoutwalt, I am sure I see something different than you wanted me to see, but it is beauty to my eyes so I will keep it! Thank you, sir. ME

Ok, I've been framed too! But guess what! I broke free and well, here I am
in living color. I loved this.

I loved it

I may know the truth but not face it
I may hear a sound a whisper sacred and profound
but turn my head indifferent
