I become your canvas,
and I love it.
You chaotically spatter random colours at me,
and it is glorious.

You draw resplendent sunsets and beaches,
and I sigh euphorically as I watch you paint on me.

But then you take out a knife,
and start stabbing my papers,
a manic glint in your eyes,
a wicked smile on your lips,
as you watch the colours bleed into weeping, murderous scenes.

But it's alright, my darling,
keep tearing me down.
Watch me as I wither into nothing but paper shreds at your feet,
for I'd rather be ruined by you,
than be relished by anyone else.

-With love,
