Colossus

I wanted to crawl into
Several new dawns with you
I wanted to learn to paint
You
I wanted to live in your
Beautiful shapes and colours
For minutes, hours, maybe even for days
I wanted your eyes to oversee my graceless ways
Such a strange warm winter evening
When the dog eared cat saved us
And broke the silent battle we waged
Opened all my fears with your silence
Tore out my heart through a flesh wound
For minutes, hours, maybe even for days
I wanted your eyes to oversee my graceless ways
