Artwork on My Skin

I painted on a paper,
But the artwork's on my skin.
Red and orange; yellow and black
Depict torment from within.

The colors mix together -
Blending, fading to one hue.
Red as blood, orange as death,
Yellow as hate, both old and new,

Black as my wounded soul.
Deep as the eyes my tears well in.
I painted torture on a paper,
But the artwork's on my skin.
