it only hurts when i laugh

-𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘥-

I spent time
Trying to paint
The perfect picture
So I painted joy
I painted life
I painted love
I painted truth

Then I realized
Out of the pictures
I painted
Nothing quite shone
As bright as the night sky

So I retrieved my pen
I retrieved my heart
And I painted
You
