I am that painting your 
parents hung on the walls.
A confusing pattern
and paint you swore was
glow-in-the-dark
even thought it was only neon.
You didn't understand it but
each day you gazed like
it was the first time you've
ever laid eyes on it.
Even as the colours dulled
over the years you still
enjoyed it.
I hope you'll still see me 
the same way.
