Paint Me

Paint me.
Paint me black and white.
Long, thick, black strokes.
Push down on the brush.
Harder and harder.
Can you paint me?

Paint me.
Color my eyes.
Color them the shade of chestnuts.
Now, color my hair.
The color of night.
Can you paint me?

Paint me.
Give me form.
Light, thin strokes.
Give me eyelashes.
Give me depth.
Can you paint me?

Paint me.
Now give me color.
Give me tanned skin.
Give me freckles.
Give me highlights.
Can you paint me?

Paint me.
Let me become new.
Let me be your Mona Lisa.
Let me be your masterpiece.
Let me be your one and only.
Can you paint me?
