the color blue cried on my shoulder so I kissed her lips and gave myself to her

the last boy that broke my heart

told me I'm

deceptive ocean waves

I flood all of your senses

and peel back your armor

digging my ripples into

your skin until I've invaded

every crevice of your being

tossing you within an

indigo abyss of my lies

the last time I spoke to God

my lips fluttered over the

thought of his existence

fingertips faltering as I grazed

along my mile long scars

traces of blocked memories

pushed into the

corners of my mind

when I said goodbye to Him

cerulean ink bled from my eyes

and the gashes on my wrists

the last time I sliced open my torso

I plucked back my skin

and pushed aside all of my

muscles, glands, and nerve endings

dragging my heart out

tearing off bits and pieces

and placing parts of myself

in loved ones until

I was left with blue veins

and a hollow chest
