The portrait hangs in private halls
Bastard strokes across torn frame
Upon those nails on unnamed walls
Of what those cracked oils became
But in her shroud of shattered wood
Misplaced hues return to ash
It's rightful artist understood
Bloodied canvas to rest in past
He takes the knife and scrapes away
Corrupted colors on faded marks
Stripped parchment clears dismay
It's empty nature heals it's scars
Still she hangs on quiet halls
Collective ending meet new dawn
Yet we remember and may call
Our memories past they've never gone
