Don'T Turn Your Colors On Me

divulgation of your shortcomings 
came too quickly

we inhabit different spectrum locations

your chambers are heated
my feet are too cold

so I run

told you I'll travel
you asked – where and if I'm going to bring you something
bought you something
and left it to myself
so I can be reminded 
in the end
I didn't surrender it to you

my words won't wear your surname
they are just passersby
through your warm palette
won't leave any imprint

and you threatened to
become my blueprint

it sounded like floating in sparkling lake
and annunciation of blood 
is trying to suffocate me in that iron midst
as your eyes are attempting to detour from heavy conversations

that special room where
you said you've folded me
became overcrowded

 so I run

instead of coming after me
your blistering penetration
fractured my muscle
and left in vast taint
which overflowed through colors
bruising the sanity of my expectancy

I did it again

by premature innocence
thought this time
you won't incinerate me

now those particles 
are shading 
your barriers

trying to punish me
with that silent treatment
won't dye
the sound of my colors


I'm engraved in your canvas
