Art work by the talented and fabulous Gigi of Rethinking Life.
His fist paint the canvas of her skin in shades of black and blue and purple
The yellows and greens of his past works add contrast and texture
She is living on borrowed time;
by all rights, he could have killed her a thousand times over by now
Her self-esteem and self-worth is threadbare,
she is held together by stitches:
the good moments, the sweet words, apologies and promises,
and the laughter they had shared…
She allowed the good, albeit rare, to outweigh the bad;
let them blind her to the reality of his lack of humanity
Her loneliness, her silence, her worries, excuses and justifications
play as a symphony of sorrow
They are both artists in their own right,
but which of them will survive this ‘blue period’?
