Vladimir

I could paint you a rainbow
If only you'd see
You live in black and white
Your thoughts clouded in gray
I offer you my hand
But you never look my way
I'm the one who cares
So please don't go away

I don't think I can ever understand
Nor will I try
All I know
Is I need you
Right here
Right now
I could rinse the blood away
And sew together the torn fabric of your inner being
I wish you'd just open your eyes
For one minute
And see
Its just between you and me
I could never say it to you
No matter how close I get
Those words are foreign to me
Like a venomous sting
But I want to know
Why you live like this
I've heard and I've seen
I've always believed
But why do you let it tear at you?

I just want to feel for a moment
To know
that maybe
I could show you the world you dream about
The place you've written of
The one thing, that could make you smile
I want to help
But you won't let me in
I know its a dangerous place
In the heart of the beast
But what I would give
Of the dangers
That is the least
