So yes,
Feel free to paint my scalp any color you choose.
Massage color into my listless locks, and let the pigment seep through
the tiny, pin needle cracks in my skull.
I want to see the dye behind my eyes.
I want to feel the kaleidoscope making my broken mind beautiful again.
You are an artist, a concentration of stars, the gentle breath of a wayward nebula ambling through space and time.
Stars are in your eyes, my love, and I wouldn't have you any other way.
I am a hummingbird heart on a ripped up sleeve, a bumbling creature that brims with pretty words that are too big for her halfway heart mouth.
As you preen and paint, darling, save me this. I don't care what you paint me as- another mistake, a prayer on trembling lips, or manic mumblings after midnight...
Just christen my hair with your fingers when we're done. Run them through so that I can shake out stardust afterwards. Kiss me so I can taste honey on my breathe long after you've gone away.
Love me like I'm a promise worth keeping.
