The Failed Artist

People can change
I don't believe that anymore
You haven't changed
You claim to be different
You claim to be the hero
You are only the hero because once you "changed" you chose to forget me
You chose to forget the girl you
Manipulated
Abused
Used

You think if you change,
I change with you
I am your blank canvas
Yours to destroy
Yours to
Manipulate
Use
Abuse

Yours to love
Yours to
Protect
Die for
Live for

You choose to ignore the stains showing through the canvas
You wipe away the burgundy and the black ink
But there's no point
We both know the stains are there
But only one of us has to live with the scars

Do you enjoy painting ?
You are a skilled artist
I'm not the first canvas you've covered
You choose to forget your past in an attempt to make me your present and future
But I am a strong spirit
I strip away your brush strokes
Until you can see me
Until you can see the mess you made

I don't want an apology
I don't want you to care about me
I don't want to be loved by you
I don't want to be wanted

I want to know what you really think
I want you to treat me badly
I want you to scream at me
I want you to make me hurt
I want you to give me a reason to leave
