Your skin

Was white as snow.

You looked at me and

My eyes use to glow

Although, we don't love

Anymore

I'd still die for you.

I'd still cry for you

But i might as well

Be dead because

Seeing you like this

Makes me wanna yell

at you, bruise you, 'til

I would see your skin glow

Up like the lilac sky, 

All purple and blue

And you had no clue

How much hell you

Put me through.

But my feelings

Didn't matter when

I suddenly saw you were

Blue.

And i had no clue

What hell ... i'd put you

Through.

And then i knew.

Oh, look, we grew.

I understood you.

and you understood me.

We were blue skinned people.

Calling, needing the help we

Both deserved,

Your skin was white

But then you decided you

Needed a drink of gin

And you thought it was zen.

To lose yourself to sin.

I painted your skin

blue and you thought

it was okay to paint

mine ...red.
