Dream Me In Black and White

Color me pretty The way that you see me but not The way I see myself Wash me pure The way you look at me With eyes of unconditional love You overlook my indiscretions Judgment you never pass Acceptance is all you offer You make me a better me Dream me in black and white Like old time photographs Faded Torn edges Jagged with time To preserve the image that you hold of me Paint me in red The sweet blood that I left behind Etching my name in the grain of eternity So as to never be forgotten Burn me into ashes Let me dance on the winds of tomorrow To feel the freedom The release from my personal hell As I soar across the sky of time
