will you let me paint a smile on your face?
in all the pretty colors?
would that make you happy?

I've seen you at the lowest of lows.
the deepest of the deep.
underground, 6 feet under.
i want to bring you up to where i can see you.
up to my pen,
to write you how much you mean to me.

in a way, i care.
i care so much it hurts.
it astonishes me.
especially if you don't feel the same for yourself.
you're worth happiness.
no matter how much darkness it took for you to get there.
