Erasure

Help!
I've been erased!

My lines were blurring with doodled distractions
and I forgot how You first drew me!
I was rubber bumpered away at my own search
for brighter colors, but the green wasn't greener.
It bade me fade for new shading
but there was no placating the hunger.
I'm sorry I writhed until I was released.
I gave up blacks and whites for grays.
It was the smooth moves of erasers
that left the useless shavings of my death behind.

Please repencil me in to the puzzle again
and draw me closer to you!
Give me hands longer for You.
Fingers to grasp Your love
and stencils to know Your shape.
You wrought me from led poisons
and gave me weight and might
against every kind of sword.
Let Your signature be bold on my back
and italic in my smile.
Write Your song on my shirt
and sketch my heart clean.
Let me know I'm all write
and it's all written
and I'm all right with You.
