Tonight, I write in blue
I write with a thick marker on thin paper
I press hard onto the page
And make the ink run;
Make it bleed beneath the cover
A stain
A bruise.
Tonight, I write in blue
When I normally write in red
I scrape my letters together
And force them into words
With sharp edges
Sharper tongue.
Tonight, you make me write in blue.
You make me blue
When we used to be red.
