He painted over my empty being,
my colored being.
His stained glass masterpiece,
admired by many,
sought after by one.
My glass being:
vibrant orange, rose blush pink
sunshine yellow, emerald leaves
cascade blue, lavender essence.
I, his light spectrum.

My man,
my painter.
The artist
whose art deemed recognition
greater than his own;
tempered glass
dulled in my presence.
His fragile art,
he dropped it.
Glass heart come undone,
shattered edges sharp.
He picked up my pieces,
and I painted his hands red.
His colored being,
my blood stained masterpiece,
admired by none,
sought after by one.
