Sifting through the Palette

Sifting through the Palette

 

 

she's an artist,

but not the painting kind

or the writing kind

or the dancing kind

 

more the manipulator

with treachery as her water colors

my blood as her ink

and another partner

 

to help her will me away from her canvas 

when it's sunset

the colors want to run

but she can't

 

and i am stuck posing for her

with my nude heart

shivering from her cold brush.

Great imagery here – and – very strong use of word play! The manipulative woman’s ability to groom others is unmatched. In a normal relationship, people go out of their way to prove that they are trustworthy—but the manipulative woman is doing exactly the opposite.
Well written piece – *applauds loudly* .. :-)
