Redemption by some_girl Published on 02/05/2010


Paint my portrait on the wall

Paint it 'till it's black

Cause all I know I ever felt

Is never coming back

Paint my lips and paint my eyes,

Make them dark, as well

Cause all I know I ever did

Will send me straight to hell

Paint the blood that's running down

My every single vein,

Don’t spare my soul, don’t paint it red

But paint it black as well

Leave no spot of hallowed light,

Cause I've been living in a sin.

My nails, my hair, my skin,

Paint them dark, even my teeth

Paint them ‘till they match the tint

Of the poor damned shadows

That will always lie beneath

It brings The Rolling Stones to mind, but other than that, it's quite lovely. Cheers!

This is a feeling I have been able to relate to recently. I am my own worst critic and I don't like what I see

some_girl commented on 02/07/2010
We all relate to this feeling at some point. Thank you for reading! Take care!

Love love love :] it just oozes dark, morbid, forlorn, foreboding, anguish in all its tragedy. My kind of poetry. Really nice write. xo

Let them paint with their eyes they will paint what they see and let their palates tell the story I like "Don?t spare my soul, don?t paint it red But paint it black as well"

The darkness envelopes the entire essence here. Powerfully captivating in its bleak despair.
