An Ode To My Best Friend

Today I recount a song unsung

Of something,that,when I was young

Changed my life in such a drastic way

That I will fail,though I try,in any attempt to repay

It is not something that people consider great

But people do not understand the ways of fate

For me,it is greater than the sun that shines

And is more than it seems if you read between the lines

It is,be warned for the shock may crush

The bond between me and an extraordinary Paintbrush

You may laugh and mock,but listen to me

My Paintbrush was magical-lifelike was she

She was petite,but elegant nonetheless

And it wasn't her looks,but her qualities that did impress

She did more than transfer paint to paper

She was a close,terrific friend-A life-shaper

She was always there for me

Whether it was to listen to my rants and musings patiently

Or splatter colour when I needed a laugh 

She was my better half

And still is-for such a bond did she and I create

That it still exists to this date

My feelings for her are so strong, there's nothing I can say

Except that I love you ,my dear paintbrush,and with you forever I'll stay

PS-this was my first attempt at poetry-I hope it wasn't too bad!Let me know what you think :)
PPS-For those of you who are looking at your computer screens in a confused manner:Plot Twist-The poem is a metaphor for the bond I share  with my actual best friend-Her name means paintbrush
That's always been an opportunity for me to make fun of her-but this time it's inspiration for a poem :)

And,as personally requested by the paintbrush herself,here is a picture of her ^
