blue

Blue blue blue

The color of you

The color of how I feel about you

My heart swims and sinks

In your ocean

My salty tears rushing over

Every inch of your skin

If I could breathe underwater

I could tell you 

All of the reasons why

I break under the pressure 

Every single time

Why 

When the waves crash they feel like daggers?

Why 

Is it my turn to focus on what truly matters?

Why

Does it hurt?

If you could feel the weight of my pain

Would you flinch?

Would you finally unlock the chains around my wrists? 

Could you tell me about the words you repeat from those lips?

Would my name be even something you’d miss? 

Tell me this.
