Anytime anybody pulls you down, anytime anybody says you're not allowed, just remember you are not alone in the aftermath. -Adam Lambert

you're no longer a painting
you're more like an aching
rusty knife jabbed into
my already diseased soul

you've lost all your color,
and I plan no longer
to chase after your flimsy
black and white life

you used to shine
with such intricate designs;
that incredible luster
is now a drab pile of dust

and I swear I will never
admire you forever
since your apparent beauty
can be washed off with water
