You were watercolor
A masterpiece soft and awe-inspired
Quite thrilling and beautiful as a mid November
I keep a ghost of you
Sealed inside of an old mason jar
At night I take you from your tucked away hiding spot
The best lullaby that I never got-
Was you in the late nights of December
When our breathes turned to frost
The night was a barrier between them and us
Until you became the toymaker and I your knickknack
But the final product couldn't live up to the blueprints
So you crumpled the papers
And threw out your knickknack so you could begin again from scratch
So I keep my manson jar-
A memory-
Perhaps a token of time
Before the canine complex I have come to know so very well
