Paint

I'm stained.
Covered in red
This paint is hot and sticky.
The canvas is an olive tone.
The paintbrush is cold and unforgiving
But this paintbrush is here when everyone leaves

I'm in pain
My heart hurts.
This paint made the tears stop
The tears came back soon enough.
This pain is unrelenting and agonizing.
But I'd go back and go through this pain for you.

Don't you worry
It's just a little paint.
Sure it's homemade, sticky
The paint is free and entrances like magic.
You don't have to come back, I have my brush
Besides, darling you can't spell paint without pain.
