Finally finished with my "Hurt and Healing" series! Each painting has been a cathartic experience for me and I'm grateful for that. Each woman I painted is beautiful in her own way. Happy International Women's Day. . . . . . . #loloweart #wip #pain #healing #watercolorpainting #watercolor #painting #artwork #nycartist #hurtandhealing #hurt #healing #pain #emotion #affirmations #instagram #words #art #artistoninstagram #woman #internationalwomensday #colorful #beautiful #blackartist #femaleartist #depression #hope #selflove

Goodbye
The paradox of goodbye
where pain and peace collide
was this my choosing?
was this your ploy?
did you know all along,
this relationship we’d destroy?
we pushed so hard we finally broke
misspoke
I threw down my fears
burning, blazing ran my tears
switch gears
live with this pain
hold it close
easier
than choosing to let it go
because loosening my grip on the hurt would mean the disappearance of you
a decision I’m just not ready to do
closer it feels than ever before
then I gaze over and see you laid across my floor
pictures, letters, moments of bliss
brushing your hair
stealing a kiss
miss
not a strong enough word to detail the grief
the isolating numbness of this disbelief
that you’re really gone
you’ve already moved on
and I’m here
moving not
frozen still
all alone
screaming my mind to kill
those memories of together
souls combined to one
obliterated
I’m stranded
left here
undone.
