Blank canvas
You painted my soul
the way clouds paint the sky
pure and exquisite
trying to give me something so unic
something i truly deserved
yet, I told you :
This is too much for me.

You tried to show me
what a simple act of kindness and compassion could do
you turned my emptiness and darkness
into a rainbow of colors
yet, I told you :
I don’t like this mix of colors.

You shared the burdens and failures with me
the heavy weight of my pain
yet, I told you :
I don’t like to share anything about myself with anyone.

So please, forgive me
cause for so long
I really thought that the definition of love
was me carrying someone else damage
and not the opposite
I thought that
it’s always the others
who needed to complain
and not me
I thought that
I was just destined to be the bandage for others wounds

forgive me
it’s just have been ages since my heart is a blank canvas.
