The Art of You

I stroke the brush with my splendid hands
   hands that have known you,
     hands that have felt you...
I try and weave my thoughts into this canvass
   but all I end up with are the images of you...

Will I ever be free of you?
Will I ever be the same?

I live in the pain of wanting you and not having you...

I paint you and nothing else,
   paint you in black and white,
      in reds and blues....

It is only in my canvass will I ever be able
   to hold you again...
      and it will only be in this canvass
      that you'd be able to love me back...
