From his best-selling poetry debut comes the second installment, Paint — to be read on its own or as a continuation to Hert. Erik De La Cruz’s second work is a masterful collection of stories, where he transforms from a poet into an artist. As he uses words like brush strokes onto the canvas of reality.

The lost boy is left wandering aimlessly after heartbreak where his only choice is to run away from his hometown. Blind faith that he’s following the right callings towards the destination his life is meant for. His drive eases the process of letting go and renewing himself throughout this journey.

This leads to loneliness as he begins to reminisce where the reminders of broken love exhaust his mind. By being so far away from home, the desire to return arises and he drives through nostalgia lane. Riding through an entire era of gloom, he builds the strength to self-repair while in search of his heart’s renaissance.

When you’ve been surrounded by darkness — where do you find color?
