Paint

I feel like paint.
It's a strange thing to compare yourself to,
but when I say it,
it feels true.
I cover walls of their imperfections
and with the passing of time and conversations,
crack under pressure and stillness.

I used to love to dance,
but you told me a secret,
and once you're gone,
I'll break into tiny pieces.

I gave you part of me.
Just realize that
you don't have me completely.

HEEEEEART RAAAAAAAAPE!
Except this time you're all nasty and vengeful and manipulative instead of just being raped and sad. Good for you, it adds to the emotional depth!

Omgosh, I love the last three lines of the first stanza! I just keep reading them over and over again. They sound so musical and alluring, and the metaphor is just beautiful :)
