Painting On the Wall

I sit here, perched on the wall Frozen forever Face in my hands Black waves tumbling past my shoulders Smiling, pearly white teeth glistening My brown eyes admire you from my spot, here on the wall They admire your features, your furrowed brow, your sharp features But you pay me no notice You used to Now the only attention I get is from your banker friends So exotic they say, she seems so lifelike Her eyes are hypnotic The same phrases repeated over and over again You just nod, laugh, gaze at me for a moment with a smile Is it a real smile? Or one that’s like mine, painted on? Tonight you are angry, frustrated, in despair You scream something incomprehensive The uncontrollable wrath flaming in your eyes As if you are put under a spell You point your finger at me You scream her name You call me HER name As soon as her name slips out your mouth It’s like the curse breaks Along with you, you break down Your eyes meet mine, shattered and hurt You stare at me, waiting for me to say something Of course, nothing comes out Silence Unbearable silence Desperate you fling your glass at me, making it break into a million pieces My canvas forever stained in red
