FALLEN I

Fallen by Sarah McLachlan

heaven bent to take my hand and lead me through the fire

be the long awaited answer to a long and painful fight

truth be told I've tried my best

but somewhere along the way

I got caught up in all there was to offer

and the cost was so much more than I could bear

though I've tried, I've fallen...

I have sunk so low

I have messed up

better I should know

so don't come round here

and tell me I told you so...

we all begin with good intent

love was raw and young

we believed that we could change ourselves

the past could be undone

but we carry on our backs the burden

time always reveals

the lonely light of morning

the wound that would not heal

it's the bitter taste of losing everything

that I have held so dear.

I've fallen...

I have sunk so low

I have messed up

better I should know

so don't come round here

and tell me I told you so...

heaven bent to take my hand

nowhere left to turn

I'm lost to those I thought were friends

to everyone I know

oh they turned their heads embarrassed

pretend that they don't see

but it's one missed step

you'll slip before you know it

and there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

This is the first piece that I’m experimenting with linseed oil, turpentine to mix and dilute that oil paint. And also different ways of handling the brush stroke, the mixture of colours and all the medium.

And of course, RETRO is back in this era!

So, it’s my imperfection… my learning experience!

sleepless night again

in one of the darkest room

stuffed with sadness, regrets, pain and anger

feelings miserable, melancholy

… and helpless

absence is unfair

nothing can ever replace what I miss

its certainty deceiving

cause love has fooled me

… once again

she hurt me till I’m bleeding

she locked me away

and she said goodbye

… and fly away

oh well!

there’s a light at the end of the tunnel

… I heard

so I …

set my heart stone cold

wake up, get back in control

get a grip and begin the trip.
