i painted the sky for you
on the ceiling of your bedroom.

i painted the sky all night
just for you until my
hands were covered in
shades of blues and whites.

i painted the sky
on the ceiling of your bedroom
just like i had painted mine
so we would be
under the same sky.

i painted the sky for you
and you didn't look up.
