Do You Want To Paint...
/Do You Want To Paint With Me?
I shine brightly, basking in the warmth of your shadow
You try to hide a crestfallen heart as you smile lovingly at me
But I see you blink away tears when you are alone
Is the façade you are putting up meant for me?
Poignant memories torment you when our present begins to resemble your past
Your eyes always seem to be searching for someone as you gaze at me
Who are you looking for?
Do we look alike?
Do you see a glimpse of her in me?
Is that why you never tell me that you love me?
If I am selfish and keep you to myself,
If I ignorantly continue to fill in her shoes,
Does that make me immoral?
Be it so,
We shall build a fresh tomorrow for ourselves
Paint our own story,
Together.
So that her memories will never hold the power hurt you again.
