You always wore your lips in red. Kissed and crumpled tissues bloomed like Bourbon roses in the bin beside your bed.
We were just kids when you first stained my skin. Your slow touch set the anchor in. I believed with youthful certainty that as you were you’d always be.
Why did you have to go…
So Blue
With a wit like wind, and a laugh on fire, you were as gentle and as balanced as any sparrow on a wire. Your eyes – so deep and wide I could no take them whole, though in meek and measured glances found that through them lay your soul.
Tell me, why’d you have to go…
So Blue
If eyes are the window of the soul, then lips are the mirror of the mind. I watched yours quiver, thin, and crack before my eyes.
Now just the thought of you and your blood-red smile, such a simple memory, I’ll think it twice before I let my mind wander off into your arms. That’s where I go blue…
So Blue
