I called that blue

I added colours to the sky,
For a person I once knew.
'bout a figure I once loved and begged to kill,
I called that blue.

You hated it, I hated you.
You hated me, I needed blue.

So you bolted like night,
Hiding yourself and truth.
Chasing what was once mine,
Running away you
                                       F
                            L
                 E
     W
                   like a river,
Flaws in your melody,
Cursed then a prayer,
Begged through the agony.

And I'll say "isn't it strange?
I could write it in a poem.
If the preacher proves me wrong,
If my skin is made of bones".

There was an irony in hating the sacred.
A betrayal you planned.
Promising you'd be sane,
Poisoning your promise.

How you'ld go for a kiss,
                     then condemn what's unseen.
Making your world my lips,
                               until they start to speak.
