Black And Blue, I'll Always Love You

A poem written back in high school.

Boy, with his eyes blacked out

Darkest moonlight minus the sun

I call upon you

You, with the charcoal hair

You, with the exquisite structure

And you, with a heart hanging on by only a fiber

Combined into one, we've got ourselves a killer

He's damaged you see, welcome to his unraveling, I've got a front row seat

The finest doctor could not mend these gouges 

His eyes glazed, in which bruises leak

His skin snow white, most utterly beautiful

I told him 'six lives until we meet again'

He was irresponsible and now has one life left

I was just a voice hid up in his head

Never would he meet me in the actual flesh

Used and abused, he sliced again

I grasped the razor and away it flew

He knew of my presence, yet I was not physically there

Pathetic boy, he soon tried again

And with my voice in the stale air, I said...

'Black and blue, I'll comfort you'

He soon froze, like that of before

Soon enough, he understood the meaning

But not the love, the hidden love

The hidden love, which I hid from him

That never extinguished the urge

To get tangled up in his bones

Not alone, he was

Never alone, he would be

I brought him into my own world

A paradise of swirling colors

He gladly accepted, the lost cause boy 

We now skip, beneath the blood red sky

And after all, sixth times a charm right?
