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!!
