Why do I sing the Blues?

I sing the blues because you and I

Are not the same

 

You are the ravenous night

The meteors that crash and burn

That wicked breath, coming from a rotten core

Filling up my lungs like liquid metal

 

You are the cold I feel

When I forget my coat on the chair

That evil temptress that lures me in

And then strangles me until I see white

 

 

But…

 

 

I want you to be the summer rain

The neutral waves that roll over my toes

The words from my childhood stories

Caressing my mind with visions of castles in the sky

 

 

I want you to be the eyes of a doe

Who’s innocence has yet to be lost

The soft snow that kisses my nose

And playfully bites my skin while dancing in circles

 

Then I wouldn’t have to sing the blues

Because I'd still love you
