Crimsom Red

the artist put paint on a blank sheet, 
  a deep crimson red was so concrete.
  which flowed out, a grim work of art,
  can be compared to my bleeding heart.

Wow Lexi this is so good, very vivid the imagery, leaves one wondering if the interpretation is right, it's ambiguity is so appealing! Congrats on a top win!
