A Mind's World Apart

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.
