you claim that I'm a masterpiece
I wonder if it's because I let you study every layer
and better yet
let you leave your mark
I handed you my heart in the early spring
carving your initials in my bark before I could fully grow leaves
I let you storm my temple
and graffiti my walls
making yourself feel right at home
I felt no need to stop you
completely captivated by your ability to paint me in every color
you could claim me as your masterpiece

making yourself feel right at home
I felt no need to stop you
completely captivated by your ability to paint me in every color
