Dark, dark blue

Like you see with a full moon

And the gloomy greens and greys

Mixed around my face today

My friends call it toxicity,

But I call it our love story

You just love on me a little bit differently

They don't understand our true love

That you mean well

I just -

I just mess up sometimes

And anger you,

But it's alright

Forgive and forget

That's what makes a relationship last

And we know it's mostly my fault

I say things

And you hit the wall,

So you missed

And hurt my jaw

It's alright

I still love you

You made it up too

And showed me our love is true

But- it became more frequent

Had to wear long shirts

And buy make up

You promised you'd stop,

But we hit a dent,

So we'll work on it

And I try to be patient,

But my friends started questioning me

Asking why I haven't been out lately

I try to tell them it's okay,

But they're noticing

The bruises that litter my face

You tell me I don't need them

That they just don't understand our love

Started pushing them away

Haven't seen them in quite a few days

Tried to rationalize more

"So what a broken bone?

Two, three, I've seen that before"

Sometimes I started to doubt it though

You've become more controlling,

But it's okay

You just want to smother me with love

(Or hand prints)

It's become to much

I think I want to leave you,

But you remind me our love is true

No, I'm not comfortable with this,

But, you seal it with a kiss

I should've seen the warning signs

Before it was too late

Please let me go, I-

Dark, dark blue

Like you see when your tears fill a pool

And the gloomy greens and greys

As you me down in casket today
