Blue, ever so gentle
Asked the fille to play
But his request was dismantled
He was told 'go away'
Little Blue would go home
He'd be bruised and be hit
The marks of a home
That will never be missed
Boy blue came back
But did not ask to play
He was hit by the fact
Of the fille going away
The fille's light was flickering now
Her mother said to Boy Blue
And Blue didn't have the pow'r
To bring her back, new
...
My Blue did everything
He read me stories of gods
Of a hero, shining
Who would defeat all odds
We'd play together
Eat, sleep, repeat
We were attached with a tether
That nothing could meet
He never told me of fights
That scarred his home
He'd shut off that light
He made his high dome
But slowly did Blue
Fade away too
And all I could keep
Was his shirt, Hawaiian Baby Blue
****
In memory of Boy Blue.
The one that I knew
The one that loved food
And smiled for new shoes
