The Picture You Erased

Of us, I painted a picture
Gorgeous colors of every hue,
Our love used to be so sure
My love for you, so true.

I saw our picture one day
Colors fading into black,
No right words then for me to say
On us, you turned your back.

That perfect picture, I can’t see
The tears burn in my eyes,
Torn in half, not meant to be
The paint smears from my cries.

My heart fades too with every tear
You threw our love to waste,
No painting now to hold so dear
Our picture, you erased.

Blank canvass sits before me now
My still paint brush won’t start,
Can’t paint again, I don’t know how
I just don’t have the heart.
