Inky Scratches - Like a Painting

You sit with yourself
You sit and everything else seeps into your skin
And now you are blue and grey
The colors have grown together in an unnatural way
Because you made it to the edge and back again
You've seen it fade around you
Making you less human or
Maybe more so
I wouldn't know
And now you look so much older
The world I think has swallowed you whole
And your body might be disintegrating
But I remember you like a painting
I remember you
Like a painting
I've spent my life
Lightly on the surface
Not from lack of dark circumstance but because
I was frightened of falling under
But you were never
We stand together
Each presenting our
Best performance of what others loved before it all
And now you look so much older
The world I think has swallowed you whole
And your body might be disintegrating
But I remember you like a painting
I remember you
Like a painting
Inside out and back again
I can see I'm repeating myself
What if
What if
There's nothing left
Of what was
Of what was
Of what was
Of what was
Of what was
And now you look so much older
The world I think has swallowed you whole
And your body might be disintegrating
But I remember you like a painting
I remember you
Like a painting
Like a painting
Like a painting
