I just wanted you to see me
You turned your cheek
all of you, the shadows around me
all the same shade of grey
I tried to paint the world with colours
I tried to make this world see
but you laughed at my paintbrush
You held your hands over your ears
all of you, with spiny fingers
some of you trembled
I tried to make this world vivid
I tried to make this world listen
You said I couldn't sing
You kicked me
I was already lying down
but that didn't matter
You wore shoes like soldiers
The lights went out
and the floor turned red
At least I got human interaction
But your eyes were shut
and you didn't listen
You never do
