I watch her paint brush move across the surface, black light acrylic paint. We are all blank canvases at first ... Pure. White. Unequivocal.
...Of New Beginnings and Second Chances.
It is the new year. All of us starting with a blank slate, promising to be better versions of ourselves, swearing we will be structured, eat less, work out more, make a ton of money. If only this year...
and then, tainted.
BLUE
smears across the canvas, triangles of some sort...
BLUE
voodoo. the color of my beloved Toyota tundra.
R.I.P. Tony The Tiger.
BLUE
the color of the diamond studded dress, the night sky wore to the party. a date I wasn't invited to... insomnia loves to take me.
BLUE
healing bruises from exes that claim to of loved me. splashes across my thighs, oil paintings.
BLUE
mellow like jazz music. flying fingers piano in a warmly lit wake and take cafe.
BLUE
deeper than the ocean she swallows me whole. too calming and clear. she is soothing, it is easy for her. rubbing my back, she does it again. I'm sinking, soaking wet. Here comes insomnia, wearing her star studded Cinderella gown, dancing in the night sky, shining in the moonlight glow. One glass slipper. Imperfect. Perfection.
BLUE
more late night parties, the hypocritical ocean, luring me into its depths. hhhhelp. She just watches me, as I desperately gasp for air, lungs filing with salty water, brain starving of oxygen. I take a deep breath, suffocating.
BLUE
the price of safety I couldn't afford.
of trust. of loyalty.
promises meant to be broken.
BLUE
sinking...
if the ocean can calm itself, can I?
BLUE.
a mixture of salt water and air.
BLUE
of the ocean reflected in my eyes.
drown in them.
