“Stain“

i was white.
white as i can ever be.
i have no one to turn to.
i have no one to run to.
this sick blankness of immortal reason,
held me locked inside this black and white season.

but then you came…

you came and changed everything with a simple –

–stain.

you changed everything.
you put colors in my blankness.
and now i’m complete.

your stains swirled into a pit of unending whiteness.
and there you stayed.

you filled me up with crimson sun
and breezy blue and you made me new.
you colored me with tangerine
and evergreens and made me ecstatic.
and you, you…

…you made me feel complete.

with just this teensy, weensy bit.
you changed my life with your –

– stain.
