WAKE UP, PICASSO!!: Day 3, Poetry Challenge by @rebeccafl

WAKE UP, PICASSO!

"Close your eyes and Count to twenty,
And they'd disappear," you had said.
Your problems solved and worries gone.
You need not despair, trust me," you assured.

I was only 9, and how grateful was I.
I needed not to despair.
At the end of twenty was my assurance,
It all seemed to go into the air.

You know,
I still close my eyes,
Just like you taught me,
Hoping to flip my lids,
to this pain melting away.

My lids shut, the clock ticks and I pray,
That I'd open them to lock with your warm gaze,
That you'd snap out of that limbo,
breaking free from that dark asylum,
Returning to me - to us.

Wake up, Picasso.
We miss you..

-REX SANGUIS
MMXVIII
