Blue False Indigo

Linked to rot a subtle poison

Yet pretty an elaborate disguise

A mask of colors some forget

You hide what you are from man

You’re tricky and hard to handle

Falsely likened to the color indigo

A shade between like indigo

You promise life but poison

With that which none can handle

A primal urge triggered by disguise

You use a tactic that would work on any man

And those not fooled can still forget

But I am stronger and cannot forget

How my friend’s face turned the color indigo

He was so young not yet a man

But you were merciless with your poison

Just like so many he was fooled by disguise

He got a drive he could not handle

And so he let go and you grabbed that handle

Leading him to in an instant forget

That which he knew about your disguise

So you pulled out a flower, indigo

The one that held your poison

And held it up just like to any other man

And in that moment fear set in he was not a man

Caught in a gasping battle he could not handle

For his body was wrought with poison

It made a scene I can’t forget

As he turned that shade of indigo

You made off to fool another with your disguise

You were lost to the crowd from your disguise

To go and trick another man

And make them touch the indigo

Launch them into that which they can’t handle

With beauty make them forget

All they know and fall victim to poison

But tis I who wins with poison, for I built a disguise

And played upon what you forget, and played you like that man

That one which you hath tried to handle, but killed with fatal indigo
