I paint you with my metallic tears
dripping from
my obsidian heart
as I draw and sketch
and darken the areas
ripping me apart
I trickle my pain
dipped in the
copious amount of my nightmare
that darken your kohl-lined eyes
with the pain my heart bears
As I slowly and gradually
draw those fine lines
those wrinkles
time has left behind,
I slowly feel the numbness
cloaked in the dark veil
that you are hiding behind
As I ‘m coating
you with my glowing love
and drenching you
with the warmth of my soul,
my fingers etch the poem hidden
in your curves
weaving a story untold
As my wrist turns and twists
counting the beauty
of your million freckles
nimbly hiding those occasional
guffaws and giggle,
I replenish my brush
with your love
as I draw your heart,
locking the glow
of the thousand…

So beautifully penned, esp the lines :
As my wrist turns and twists
Counting the beauty of your
Million freckles…
