IF I WAS GOING TO PAINT

October 16, 2025

If I was going to paint
our relationship,
I would have me
outside fence of you-
Sometimes you open the door
a crack- only a crack
but that feels so nice
Only to be locked out
totally again
The fence meticulously maintained
with new fresh walls
leaving me out whimpering
and even scratching
under fence
But there are stones
laid out all along bottom of fence
which I cannot get passed.
So I choose to stay
outside all the time
Guess what feeds me
is my eternal wish
someday fence will come down
like Berlin wall
But sadly I
should totally know
This wall you maintain
will never come down.
Not even for one minute.
