The black and gray shading
that shadows the
bones and
the artist's emotions;
What's going through your mind?

Has the beautiful
collage of color that once
was the love you had for
her
faded away?

Are the barren bones
scattered about the canvas
actually pieces of
your newly
broken heart?

Or maybe the neutrality
of the gray shows
your indifference to the
fact that now,
She's gone.

What's going through your mind?
While your hand shook as you
carefully drew every detail in
the skull,
did you wonder about her?

When the side of your palm
collects shards of granite as you
shade in every corner of the canvas,
did you recall the way her
skin felt against yours?

What was going through your mind?
