Painting At Night ~ValerieRose

During the day she's perfect

She smiles at everyone

Laughs at everything

Sees every moment with innocent eyes

And dreams of the future

During the night she's flawed

She doesn't smile

She has this joyless expression

She doesn't laugh

She only cries

Every moment of innocence is gone

There are only corrupt pictures

There are no more dreams

She doesn't think about the future

She only thinks about the past

Everything that's happened

All the things that have hurt her

She once thought about the future

But every time she did it hurt her

She thought only about bad

Never good...

She thought...

Who will hurt me next

Will they leave too

Can I trust them

All these thoughts

They only cause pain

Every day and night causes pain

The first was to just end it

She tried and tried

But something always stopped her

The second was to paint

She didn't like it at first

But now it's all she does

It's all she thinks about

Painting takes away the pain

When she paints she doesn't worry

It makes her feel free and happy

All the pictures are the same though

The same color and pattern

Red lines

Red lines that cross everywhere

From side to side

And top to bottom

She loves it...

Every night she paints

But she can only paint one picture...
