Bruised

Bruised, 24 x 36, acrylic on canvas
It caught me by surprise
I could not breath, could not think. The pain swallowed my soul. Remembering the memories that were offered as gifts. Day by day waiting for it to fade but the pain is in my veins thru my heart and it will never escape. I tell myself it’s going to be ok,
it’s just a bruise.
