you tell me your favorite color is blue
like the sky, like baby blankets for little boys
you are not a little boy, you are a beautiful girl
and i will try my best to be blue for you
look, my veins are already the right color
and i will pour all the blood out if you wish
you can have everything- if i go without
breathing for long enough my skin will match
i’ll be your blue baby, a devilish grin and flashing eyes
but a quiet mouth, no one knows, it’s our little secret
i’ll tie a blue ribbon around my neck
because i’m the winner, i won’t forget
drag me around, i’ll follow you anywhere
ignore the fact that i’m purple now instead of blue
i’m your blue baby, shy smile and soft eyes
your wish is my command, use me as you will
dressed head to toe in bruises, blue
like the sky, like the tears in my eyes
i’m sorry i’m sad, but you wanted blue, baby
i’m covered in blue bruises, shedding blue tears, spilling blue veins
hang me up to dry by my blue ribbon
because i’m still winning babe, forget-me-not
