I was nothing but white paper
until you took your pen
across my face.
How loudly I speak now
with the fingerprint of your voice.
My ink lips protest your dismay
at not finding the right shoes.
When I first saw your shadow
upon me I believed
there would be something
profound recorded on
my virgin surface,
a sonnet, a cinquain, an epistle.
Now I wish to curl up
in a wrinkled ball.
My dream
of fame
reduced
to selfish
ramblings
of a fashion
deprived
Twit!
