"My rainbows are worn."

"My rainbows are worn."
"Watch this.", she smiled
and with her brush
painted a thorn in my side.

"Now I've nowhere to hide!"
I ran for soap or rain
but slipped and broke to surrender.
She offered a knife for the pain.

Whatever the wound
I knew it would stay a while.
Her gift glinted in my side,
in my hand. I smiled.
