Love, Pain, Truth

Two dogs running around the house

Two cats laying in the sun

A lazy day at home with your spouse

A group of friends having fun

The swings where you almost kissed your first crush

A child staring at you with wide eyes

A canvas and a new paint brush

Swaying trees and cotton candy skies.

The burn of acid in your throat

The ache of overworked eyes

When his smell finally faded from his coat

When another girl’s heart she spies

The hole in your chest left after saying goodbye

Bloody fingers and bitten nails

Friends that choose and choose to lie

Giving up and all it entails.

He doesn’t love you the way he should

You can leave

She’d kiss you if she could

You, she won’t deceive

The words they say are lies

You live in so many people’s hearts

Your eyes twinkle like fireflies

You are a piece of art.
