Captive Rose A rose, posing against the window of the rec room on the psych ward. Rendered perfectly, with crimson petals signifying Valentine’s Day. Floating in air, a dichotomy set amid the the cold, concrete building across the street. Mundane pinks and greys, empty windows, faceless workers. A heart swathed in melancholy, broken in two, by the perception of a bitter and pitiless world. Captive Rose, A painting with an inscription to me carved into my heart with a palette knife.
