“A Forest”

A small graphite painting inspired by the song “A Forest” by “The Cure” (released in 1980).

Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can

Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes

I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark

I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees

Into the trees

Suddenly I stop
But I know it’s too late
I’m lost in a forest
All alone

The girl was never there
It’s always the same
I’m running towards nothing
Again and again and again and again…
