I Painted You Last Night

Deep in my darkness 
Surrounded by light 
My demons awoke 
Looking to fight 

My booth so quiet 
Just airbrush hissing 
My demons and I 
Slowly reminiscing 

Remembering the days 
Each entered my life 
From the bully in school 
And you my cheating wife 

I started with white 
Over a dull black base 
I drew in an outline 
Of your angelic face 

A monochromatic 
Vision of you 
With more details 
True colors show through 

I pulled out highlights 
Pushed shadows cast 
A three demented view 
Into my haunted past 

I detailed your eyes 
Followed with your hair 
Thought about our love 
Before your affair 

My demons remind me 
And kept me from swaying 
Show her true soul 
Not the one she's portraying 

So with fire in your eyes 
To your sinister grin 
Your cold black heart 
That burn me within 

I pictured this monster 
Executed it well 
Thanks for the inspiration 
Now get back into HELL

Love this poem. I can relate to it 100%

Good description led reader to a very good ending. Sometime we can trick our minds about someone and then the real vision appeared and we can see the true vision. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.
