you are the sunset, i paint myself out

you were once a plain white canvas
i was hesitant to make a mark
did you remind me of a beautiful sunset
or the lonely moon surrounded by dark

i spent countless hours with you alone
painstakingly sketching out every detail
vibrant colors brought out your eyes
and the tone of your skin so innocent and pale

when i was at my low with no end in sight
you did not change and stayed the same in my eyes
the things i abhor, the list that i write
to your faded eyes, those were just lies

so i sketched out a rough sunset over the sea
it was the most honest scene i could ever create
you could be floating with the waves, hiding in the dark
dreaming with the sun, where you would radiate
