Vincent

He splashes light against the sky,
  breaks a heart that makes her cry
  remembering yesterday's goodbyes,
  begs her to explain. She just sighs.
  She was a whore he loved, paste white.
  He splashes light against the night
  making stars that swirl like madness.
  He splatters yellow suns on his sadness
  with crows in skies warning us of doom.
  He cuts his ear off in a white room.
