Paint My Way
If only I had an eraser to melt sketches away with friction
Erase the lines that once held your face
With a delicate stroke, I'd tuck your hair behind your ear
And paint a kiss on your cheek
I'd dabble in watercolors to match your personality....
Bland and pale compared to vibrant others
I was abstract, you were reform
I tried ceaselessly to fit your frame, paint in the lines and draw the dots
But I finally realized I was a creation of my own
