The Aftertaste: Losing My Only Masterpiece

A/N: A sequel to "Stain Me Until I Turn to Art".

I lost.
I stand in defeat.

Bruised by my own thoughts.
Bludgeoned by the pain I inflicted on her.

I wrecked her world.

I stained her perfect flaws.
I turned her into art.

But I lost my only masterpiece.
I lost the art I once made.

Now...
Her art has tainted my innermost being.
The stains that I once poured onto her, have come back to their home --to me.

My stains have stained me...

For I lost the masterpiece I should've had.

I lost the battle I thought I won.
The treasure I once owned, was now owned by someone--

Someone who mended the scars I have done.
And soon, I know they will become one...

And this stains me.
Look at the dark colors of these bruises.

Now my masterpiece has turned me into art.

And these hands can't turn cold enough to show her how much I still long for the warmth of her touch.

These eyes can't turn red enough to show how much I was bleeding inside.

And my words can't be loud enough for her to hear how I wish it was still us until the end of this battle.

But I lost...
For I lost... My only masterpiece.

I wrecked her world, not knowing she was my universe.

Now...

See how I have tasted my own poison.
Listen to the silence of the void in my core.

Forgive me. I have now learned my lesson...

My love, I will stain no more.
