Blue

January 16, 2026

Everything in this world is washed over 

The stars have trickled from the sky 

It’s broken open, black and blue 

And so I think you’ll be with me forever 

 

The sky is too close to my head now

It seeps into my ears and eyes and blinds me

I can close my eyes and see you still 

And when I’m wide awake, you’re here 

 

At night when it drops through the cracks in my ceiling 

I catch it in my palm and drink it with my mouth 

When daylight comes I’m soaked in ink and sweat 

And so I think you’ll be with me forever
