Portrait in Blood (Braindead) - Sin7sinS

Standing naked before the canvas

I paint your portrait in blood

Empty eyes staring at me

as I tempt to remember what I’ve lost

Don’t say this is unreachable

Don’t hate my scars they are beautiful

Don’t feel denied of the impossible

Don’t think we will ever be the same

And this is what you wanted

This is what we need

This is the painting

that sets you free

Staring at you smiling at me

As I dip the brush in fluent red

Though different layers of longing I can

resurrect you from the dead

This is you now re-imagined

I need something for the pain

something soothing

something tragic

something to make it stop again
