I filmed it after putting the finishing touches on the blood and fire. You can hear my Professor talking to one of the senior students about her latest project in the background.

I miss University so much. This is one of the most powerful compositions I've ever created. This painting took 3 months; I spent between 10 to 16 hours a day working on it.

Will you catch me
when I fall ?
If I need to lean
can you be my wall ?

Could you keep me safe
from troubled men ?
When I awake
will I see you again ?

My love for you
it's not going away
Til the end of time
Come what may

Are you the one
who'll take my hand
Kiss me on the beach
as we lay in the sand

When fear comes calling
will you hold me tight ?
In the deepest darkness
be my light

Can you be different
not like the rest?
Life is hard, and our love
it WILL test

I just need to know
that with you I'm secure
When I don't hear from you
it makes me unsure

Have I done something wrong ?
Said something bad ?
Perhaps I did a thing
that made you mad

I know I'm a handful
but I don't ask for much.
Just keep me safe, hold me
I crave your touch

Please let it be
Let me walk by your side
Perhaps maybe later
I could be your bride

For I never dreamed
I could meet one like you
So strong and gorgeous
intelligent too

Where are you love ?
I miss you so
You are my vice
I cannot let go
