Still Picture

I have a photograph of you
Seamless, dusty, pale
It's been here a while
Through sun, and rain and hale...
It eats at my soul as it waits
The very life of me seeps from my face
It steals hope, leaves none alight,
Takes all my remains, no trace...
I have a photograph of you
It's all I have left of your will
It may be the thing I cherish most
But to all else, it's just a picture still...

Now that I'm back to using my old style, I use a lot of layers. Did this in about 45 mins, while waiting for a client for our production outfit (they were late, so I was bored and had to do something productive... ) never expected this to come out though... now it's my wallpaper of the moment!

The words in the back are from Evanescence, and the only clear lyrics (at least the ones I hope are clear) are "Where has my heart gone?" Pretty fitting for a piece about longing and regret. ALthough I don't feel that way now, I know at one point in my life, it's all I ever knew.

Hey we all go through times like that, it's how you live through it that makes you who you are today. In short I didn't need to dig too deep to find inspiration for it, just a couple of cigarettes and some time to kill...
