I paint, and I love to paint the emotions inside the model, in black and white.

I took you in and held you tight, I danced into your soul, And took the rope you balanced on, Dislodged your self-control, To pull apart your shattered heart, Rebuild your classic pose, And paint the lust inside your mind, Underneath the clothes, For me, I had to fuel my pain, I had to feel what I had broke, To create a world that I had lost, With every painful stroke, So I built you up then tore you down, I played with what you are, I captured, on canvas, the truth to you, Your hurt, your rent, your scar.
