You were a cerulean boy with ocean eyes A heart as complicated as the tides are high I brought you home to watch an angel on tv The sun was rising…you didn’t leave I was an emerald man With a broken plan Oz in my heart, silly I know A little sad and not of the clearest mind Enraptured by you My hopes were misaligned /// A few days went by… Things seemed good A record played Blue Film Pasta Wine Fingers through hair An invite to Christmas Your mom wanted to meet me Imagine that Seems a little funny now I picked you up from the airport We tried on a hundred pairs of glasses Took a cute photo by the bathrooms How foreign now Sick days in bed I held a cool cloth to your brow Ran my hands down your wet back The fever broke while you slept You sang countless melodies Fingers on the keys While I lay on the carpet Quietly recording Then there was the nightly routine Superstore and cuddles Laughter and jalapeño hands **** You kissed my neck Asked if it was good It was good So you turned away You kept pressing your body against mine Only to turn away Over And over Again I would wait until you were asleep to cry In the bathroom In the closet In the dark My heart was breaking My mind confused You looked lost I felt used An arbitrary argument over brunch You put the car in park We sat in silence It was a little dark Suddenly we are ending things My tears start flooding You were far away Emotionless That still stings /// Lies like waves crashing on the shore You’re so comfortable spewing them Mold on blueberry cheese A spore A Scruffy “random play” A Grinding “top” A fake *** alt-identity Hiding behind a screen Stop You didn’t see my gold You couldn’t I wanted you to try You wouldn’t I wonder if you’ll ever Pull back the curtain and find Your True Self I hope you do You deserve that To be magic (again) In December, I’ll remember You Your cerulean eyes And our demise

CERULEAN
You were a cerulean boy with ocean eyes A heart as complicated as the tides are high I brought you home to watch an angel on tv The sun was rising…you didn’t leave I was an emerald man With a broken plan Oz in my heart, silly I know A little sad and not of the clearest mind Enraptured by you My hopes were misaligned /// A few days went by… Things seemed good A record played Blue Film Pasta Wine Fingers through hair An invite to Christmas Your mom wanted to meet me Imagine that Seems a little funny now I picked you up from the airport We tried on a hundred pairs of glasses Took a cute photo by the bathrooms How foreign now Sick days in bed I held a cool cloth to your brow Ran my hands down your wet back The fever broke while you slept You sang countless melodies Fingers on the keys While I lay on the carpet Quietly recording Then there was the nightly routine Superstore and cuddles Laughter and jalapeño hands **** You kissed my neck Asked if it was good It was good So you turned away You kept pressing your body against mine Only to turn away Over And over Again I would wait until you were asleep to cry In the bathroom In the closet In the dark My heart was breaking My mind confused You looked lost I felt used An arbitrary argument over brunch You put the car in park We sat in silence It was a little dark Suddenly we are ending things My tears start flooding You were far away Emotionless That still stings /// Lies like waves crashing on the shore You’re so comfortable spewing them Mold on blueberry cheese A spore A Scruffy “random play” A Grinding “top” A fake *** alt-identity Hiding behind a screen Stop You didn’t see my gold You couldn’t I wanted you to try You wouldn’t I wonder if you’ll ever Pull back the curtain and find Your True Self I hope you do You deserve that To be magic (again) In December, I’ll remember You Your cerulean eyes And our demise
