Sentiment

Suppose I paint a picture of a landscape
Something recognisable, but still intriguing to the eye
And I tell you that’s not all there is to it
Would you understand the sentiment?
And I explain that each object within it represents a greater story of love and life and hurt
And perhaps you could even say some sacrifice
Would you still retain your reticence?
‘Cause I long for you to see what I see
I long for you to feel what I feel
