Peeling skin
Coats the walls
Of travesty
And love.
Chisel me away,
I beg you.
And don’t bother
Priming me again.
Pick away
My drywall ribs.
And leave me
Unfinished.

Houses work as such great metaphors, and it works well here, too! I would like to know more about the window in the photo, though!

I'd never realized, but you're so right! I actually use a house as a metaphor for another one of my poems, too, This Small House (also on here), now that I think about it.
As for the window, this is just an image on Google that I felt fit. I didn't want one with a window initially, and I'll probably change it when I find a better one. I suppose the window is a metaphor for a healthy, happy love and life, though.
