I crawled into your mind
to steal a piece of beauty to call mine.
It took a lot of effort,
but it didn't take a lot of time.
It was a spray of bright colors
separated by slumber
and a series of numbers;
a natural canvas of infectious affection,
gorgeous perfection
and a skull for protection.
But, I harbored your hard work
like a grunt doing yard work.
I gathered much hastily
and I'm taking it back with me.
At even a mind's world apart,
with a quick enough start,
we can do enough damage
to leave permanent marks.
