Black and Blue (Winter and Summer Skies)

Look up, I dare you

You thought i was done

You didn't know, now

I am never done

This game cannot be won

Until the end

Now I beg and plead, my friend



Black as deep as my heart

As I look up at the Winter's night sky

Makes me cry and weep

I want nothing to do with tonight

It won't change all the things I did

It won't take away all the pain that I hid

So I will lay my head down to sleep

Dark black the sky compared to the shadows on my sheets

I want to lay here and die, wither away, weep



Blue as my favorite color in June

July was the month I gave it all to you

I hate myself for who I was back then

Like bruises on my heart, this regret will never end

Call me once more, I love to hear your voice

Dark blue sky we walked beneith

Hot summer air we breathe

Blue as the blood without oxygen to breathe

I want this blue sky to never come again



Black and Blue, like the colors after a fight

Shouting, shots heard throughout the night

I hate this life, I hate this fight

I don't want to bleed or regret again

These feelings are those that I cannot mend

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I thought of this while looking up at the clear black sky as i walked out of work tonight...rather sad, rather true...i'd rather it not be, but it is...and I am sorry.
