Paint with Black Ink (Poem)

Recently, I have undertaken a project to write a longer poem one day at a time. Each evening I will be adding one stanza to this poem. You can find the stanzas first on twitter @RedArmyFactionX.

Paint the world with black ink
Drawn with a needle through your soul
Rainbows in shades of gray
Sunsets of omniscient grief

And as you lay me down to sleep
Don't fix a smile upon my face
Set a look of despair and grief
And let me leave this cold dark place

Let me seek the glimmering light
Shed of these thoughts lighter than air
Let me paint a new and darker night
Forgetting my face lined with care
