a colorless canvas.
A youthful imagination
void of vision,
trapped ruthlessly
in a realm no child
should remain.
Fingers touch
to broken shards,
vulnerability reaps
it's ruthless rewards.
Pigment of scarlet
illustrates infinite
injured implications.
I am eternally veiled
by vile viciousness.
Longing for shades
of saffrons Grace,
and vibrant visions
of shimmering stars
to enchant my eyes.
Defiled and brutalized,
not speaking of that
which is unspeakable.
Paint me a portrait
of pure innocence.
Of daffodil dreams,
and daisies delight.
I shall contrive
colors only a child
on canvas creates.
Imagine my cries
from coffins crux,
and you shall burnish
my broken being.
