you left because you thought my life was so fucking good

Well, it wasn’t

It never is

It will never be

But today the sky was so fucking blue, it was surreal, teal, aquamarine

I sliced a piece of blue

I can’t ever stop it

That friend death felt bigger than this blue

And I can’t stop it

We are all broken, angry, fearful and sad

We love a little it becomes a Lot

Not on purpose just like this blue

Softly weeping about a time that never was.
