Turned Off
You painted me a picture in interwoven shades of blue
But my dive to submerge saw only one, instead of two
Myopia can't hide your need for what you're feeling due
While you turned your mind off to what I needed in you
=========================
Change meets its purpose as the cold haphazard winds blew
My youth absconded with a scoundrel like a prize he'd woo
Once upon a time you were the tool, and me, but the screw
When you turned your mind off to what I needed in you
==========================================
Ignored when my lines resisted the engineered map you drew
Though my curves met your needs in the bed linens we knew
Abandonment nixed my appetite in the remnants of your roux
When you turned your mind off to what I needed in you
==========================================
You wished for a silent mannequin absent a point of view
My blank canvas gathered strength turning black, it grew
Dolls eyes came to life as light switched abstract into true
When you turned your mind off to what I needed in you
==========================================
Stole your palette to paint wings on a broken bird that flew
Trepidacious traveler found her own path to pass through
Freehanded art brushed by each beat of a heart pulsing new
When you turned your mind off to what I needed in you
==========================================
