Ink

Each stroke of the brush
Leaves an impression behind
Colors filling the gaps
Between the darkest designs
To make me cry. Is no 
challenge.
To make you cry. That's not 
possible
Were these things a matter of 
the heart?
Or simply loose thoughts of the 
mind?
A looming grave lies open 
ready to bury these memories
In every hug, with every kiss
They were each heavily laced 
with poisonous lies
Was I really so naive
To believe what you told me?
As the portrait grows ever 
longer
The colors go from richest to 
the dullest
The beautiful designs
Fade into nothing but pointless 
scribbles
