The Paint On Your Wall

In the beginning it was chuckles, kisses and adoration Your expression-smug, intense and bursting with admiration I was the perfect blend of gilded taupe for your fixation From a color palatte too vast and wide for your comprehension Like the paint I was, I colored your life ensuring beautification Of a crumbly house made of dough and eggs and putrefaction Then one day you decided I was more the grey of the Great Depression And the sentence worthy of my loving you was annihilation So your love and care and company -gone! With no explanation! Until with less regard for me than for a roach infestation You left me out to dry in utter humiliation Now as my tears have burned a path on my face, I feel a resolve in formation A good sign of a new start from my soul exploration Of my new found peace, my inner strength and utter elation Of a life without you, much like a liberated nation But just one thing before I head to my new destination I wish you what you willed for me- god damnation!!
