"Blue"

I’m swimming in rags, heavy and long

No longer alive but synchronal with song

Weightless, ageless, I’m floating atop

Perfectly still, my heart has stopped

Porcelain face, blood has drained

Emotionless, loveless, no longer pained

Blue eyes, once brown

Memories have drowned

Blue lips, once pink

Sensations will sink

Blue skin, once soft as appeared

Your scent washed away, disappeared

My breath is cold, crystalline air

Like the diamonds frozen in my hair

But how, I am dead, how am I breathing

I feel a banging, a warmth, my heart still beating

I twitch, I blink, I’m staring at sky

Ethereal visions, I wonder why

Suspended in ice, a frozen moat

I gasp, I flail, I sink and float

Why has this energy awaken my slumber

It was safe, it was empty, now I’m pulled under

Under the water I fought to stay above

Beneath it darkness, dangerous love

Someone’s here, thrashing in the blue

I pull him under, scared of the truth

He pulled me too, we spun in the depths

Drowning together, our souls, in death

Reveal ourselves, wrapped in blue

We are dying, I’d die here for you
