The night sky is blue. Amaranthine - endless The mosaic trail left upon my satin skin. The tinge caressing my eyes, Which have seen The devil himself And yet dare not expose the azure brutality Enveloped in your venomous cradle. The waves are blue. An exhausting struggle I brave Cyclically Desperate to subsist As you seek to drag me Cascading To the ocean floor - Where I embrace my demise at your hands. Blood flows blue Yet pours red. The colour you see each time I dare to pursue escape. The colour you see If I am to take too long in the bathroom. If I am to have a quiet word with my friends Without your contiguity Looming like a cloud Blue Threatening a downpour congruent with my tears As I beg them to liberate me Yet say no such thing. The lights projected from the ambulance Pleading with traffic to manufacture a path As I lay Helpless. Blue. Broken ribs and a broken heart. Not the first assault and victim to more than yourself But my forgiving nature Assures that this is not the final beating. As my skull is glued and the morphine streams through my veins And the boys in Blue Delicately ask “Did he do this, again?” I nod, Though the officer shakes his head, His pen moving freely of his hand, He acknowledges that tonight he will return to his wife, He will have his meal and pray that his daughter is spared. And I will return, To the lair of the beast. My eyes swollen. My body imitating scaffolding; bones and skin housing the weary soul. My hands shake as they struggle to grasp reality. My cheeks stained by the violent, sempiternal flow of tears. My ribs, forbidden from healing prior to the next wave of brutality, Stood at an angle god himself could not manufacture. My voice weak, desperate, pleading; Determined. I beg no one to liberate me. I, myself, choose to betray your corruption. I tell my story, though it is not a tragedy. I showcase, unforgiving - as you were, The ‘love’ you enforced upon me. The bloodthirsty way your soul adored mine. The months of seemingly incalculable assault Starvation Emotional torture **** The autonomy you stole from me. I want it back. Instead it lies, at the bottom of your cobalt ocean. Wrecked and never to be recovered. Even in exposing you, and hand-delivering my message to you, That you lost. I do not regain the life you mercilessly devoured. Instead, I must rebuild my own life. Despite and in spite of you. Though the blue I once knew was bruised and afraid. The Sapphire I learn is of unwavering strength, kindness And peace. I forgive you, Though I hope to God that you rot in a place where blue Seems inviting.

Blue (cw r*pe, violence.)
