I’m a girl conditioned blue
I devour love similarly to how humans devour the sea
And all my lovers attempted to devour me
I’m sweeter than sour candy
But my smudged eyeliner and lipstick says things like “she drinks black coffee and butter tea”
Blue is one of my favorite colors
It’s always been my favorite color to hide the scars
And the bright stars within me
I’ve hidden behind royal, periwinkle
And even denim my whole life
Hoping to see what oceans hide inside before anyone can pollute me and misuse me and take all the little fishes that resemble the butterflies in my stomach when I’m shy
I often wear an oversized blue acid washed jacket
That still has a linger of bleach in the fragrance
I hate it
But it disguise the smell of my blue Victoria Secret perfume that I wear for myself
I don’t want to be smelled by the girl on the bus with the SnapBack who stands a little too close to my ass
Or the man with the beard that resembles papa smurf’s and keeps looking my way
If I’m gonna be true blue
I need to push everyone away
Live in my true hues
Cry boo hoo until this tragic color fades
And a true red heart comes my way and saves the day
