art with everyday objects--sometimes for

embellishment for pride, for commercial

For they could not love you

But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in
sight
On that starry, starry night
You took your life, as lovers
often do
But I could've told you Vincent
This world was never meant for
One as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frame-less heads on nameless
walls
With eyes that watch the world
and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've
met
The ragged men in ragged
clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the
virgin snow
They would not listen, they're
not listening still
Perhaps they never will
