I ran out of crayons, may I use yours?
the difference in it all is that
even on your darkest of days
I still painted you bright yellow in my mind
you mistook black crayons for light blue
smeared the black over the bolded guided lines
while I sat there and tried to erase
I kept erasing
or at least tried to
but I couldn’t keep up
as your black lines started to become
bigger… thicker …. wider
eventually it consumed the whole page
my light blue crayon broke in half
each piece of it laying on different ends of the paper
trying to still balance what’s left
a fully blacked out page laid in front of us
we stared at it
we stared at it for so long trying to justify what just happened
or at least I did
because underneath all of the black
there was light blue
waiting to shine through to you
but it never made its way from underneath
leaving it to be unrecognizable
unidentifiable
unknown
and eventually to the naked eye
it quickly vanished
no matter how hard it tried
I taped my crayon together
and began drawing again
and again
and again
trying to brighten up the page
but there was only so much I could do
with what little room you gave
