Vanquished

I am the canvas

I lay my art upon

I am the canvas 

Void and waiting

Wanting to be filled

I am the canvas

Burned with fire

I am the canvas

Of vanished tears

Running through

The years

And now

Nowhere to go

Trapped in this 

Blank picture

Looking at the world below

I am the canvas

No one will know
