A Canvas of Lies

by Twinkie - Virgo

With innocence and purity woven within
On a large stretch of canvas was where I began
My heart told me to paint a masterpience
The ending result in my mind was too beautiful to conceive
I began with strokes tenderly kissing the canvas with colors of hope and love and understanding
With tedious care, intent on perfecting each corner, each dream
One morning from my dream I awoke
The wisdom of the sunlight did evoke
A revelation under the criticism of the blinding light
There was no love to capture, only the lust between you and I

Yes I did paint a masterpiece
A splendid canvas of lies for all to see

Reason for writing:

    How much I wanted my first relationship to be a perfect masterpiece.  It turned out to be a short-lived relationship filled with uncontrolled emotions and deceit.  Perhaps if I thought more with my head, I wouldn't have been hurt so deeply.
