I painted you
mingling mediums on a mixed palette of pride and pain
a patchwork picture of my past
to cover your blank page
rumbling rage to redden your brow
an open orange and honest face
white wine to touch your wanting lips
ghost gray in the eyes
a golden hope lightens your hair
violet vanity veils your face
charcoal knuckles of candid confidence
turquoise tongue tainted with truth
pale skin, unripened peach
brownish back, the color of fruit turned rotten
pink pores of passion
green groin of guilt
yellow marrow
black bones of silvering shame
I painted you
with every color on my palette
each drop of my blue blood formed your crimson soul
I painted you - beautiful.
you peeled yourself from the parched paper
go.
go.
live.
you do not need me anymore
