I see you
In a corner
Sitting
Staring
Blank
And
Lifeless

I don't know
If I can help
But
I will try
I touch the grey wall
And color bursts from my fingertips
And it spreads across the wall
My footsteps cause splashes of
Blues, yellows, reds..
And then I reach you
And touch your shoulder
Your color returned
And a smile on your face
That I so longed to see
And I sink to my knees
And I start to cry
From happiness
And you hug me and return my color
