Paint Me As You Please

I am a blank canvas Paint me as you please You dip your brushes into little vats They can't touch the depths of my being And the ocean within me

We are strangers You are stranger than me I am stranger than you In our own strange ways Yet we are written in the same ink By pens beyond what you can think Dipped like paintbrushes By a writer for whom Everything And Everyone Is Fair Game

So paint me as you please When we first meet Judge me by my cover, so that you can learn About your eyes, not mine Smudge in your grime A tear, if there's time Your colours, your light, your dark Blue and yellow meld into green When our colours merge they don't even have a name But merge they will Bleed
