if you told me your dreams

if you told me your dreams
i'd paint on a blank canvas, vivid colors over simple hues of white
make the daytime extra bright, with shades of black for the night
a hilltop standing out in the green, with a patch of shade just for us
pale shades of orange for the sunset, gray for the silent dusk

if you told me how ugly it was
i'd splatter over my honest mistake with a deep color of red
write down beautiful thoughts of you onto this new canvas instead
spill my feelings all over the empty space until it was a color of its own
let it lift you up and take you away to places you have never known

if you told me how shallow i looked
i'd break this overdone canvas into a million little bits
proceed to jump into your mind to find out what makes you click
paint a masterpiece on your brain and write a poem on your heart
you'd appreciate what i'm trying to do and we'd finally have a start
