I paint black
On black,
Layers of
Watercolour,
Acrylic ,
Gloss,
Matt,
Building up
An image
Of all I've lost,
A portrait of
The crushing
Hole,
The numbness
Of my soul,
The charred
Embers, ashes,
Of a heart
That used to be whole;
Scarred, yes,
Patched and mended,
But still
Overflowing,
Leaking love,
All over you,
Us.
Now a montage
Of loss,
Hurt,
A collage
In shades
Of black,
A lack
Of colour,
Missing definition,
Highlights,
My time a void,
Hope has sunk
Over the
Horizon
Of a darkened
Ocean,
Just one expanse
Of gnawing,
Numbing,
Ever-growing
Black.
