Blue

Blue
the color of your eyes
when you looked at me
that day so long ago

Blue
the color of the waves
that lapped against the sand,
then retreated
slowly
back to their home
the waves
i was once afraid of
but you taught me
to love

Blue
the color of the sky
that we gazed at
lying on top of the hill
that clouldess summer day
and
all i could think about
was how warm your hand felt
on mine

Blue
the color of my heart
when you left me
for some faraway place
i was all alone
in a world with no sea
no sky
no love

i wrote to you
but maybe
the letters
got lost

Blue
the color of your eyes
when you looked at me
that day so long ago

  • Song lyrics & you

    You're laying siege on me

    with your dimples and your crooked teeth

    with your hair, wet from the shower

    with the way your voice sounds when you're speaking Italian

    with the way you make me feel, both like crushed gravel

  • Good news

    I don't want the cold hallways,

    their chill seeping underneath 

    my thin regulation gown and settling in my bones.

    I don't want the nurses,

    with their tight, sympathetic smiles

  • Us

    I cling to the rollicking waves of our tumultuous friendship before they slip from my grasp, white-knuckled fingers and tangled legs praying not to be tossed astray by the unforgiving current.
