I was the canvas.
You stretched and shaped me so you could paint me with your color.
Every stroke hurt, every color ached
From your palate to plain white surface.
I was your instrument.
You played me so painfully well.
I believed I was the music and with me you could create life,
Love, and beauty so eternal, yet brief.
I was your tomb.
You buried in me your dreadful intentions.
I took them inside so willingly
Eager to believe I saved you from yourself.
I was your tongue.
As you lied to me, I lied to myself.
The mouth speaks but the ears listen...
I heard what I wanted to hear.
You were my mirror.
In you, I saw the deepest truths of myself...
And thus, turned away from the reflection.

Love.
I think I've used the canvas imagery before... I don't know why, but I just like it. |
