I wanted to crawl intoseveral 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
