You’ve seen my inner workings
The rusted clockwork gears hidden
Under shiny brass coverings
You’ve carefully taken
The pieces in your hands
Examined how they work
And put them back devoutly
You keep it close in your pocket
Knowing what’s behind the face
You’ve tasted my soul in small portions
Savored each flavor on your tongue
You didn’t run from the pain by capsaicin
Ate it and asked for more
I don’t understand how you enjoy it
It’s a mystery to me, why you keep
Putting it in your mouth
You’ve touched me when I’m covered in blue
Didn’t mind getting the hue on your hands
Helped me remember it’s not a sin to wear it
The color is easier to carry with you
Because you understand what it feels like
To be drenched in a shade that comes and goes
When you never know you’ll be painted
The brush doesn’t pick favorites
My True Blues. When I’m out in the world, feeling lost about myself and looking for my person with a lantern, you remind me who I am. I feel that I’m constantly on a journey to “find myself.” But what if I’ve never been missing? Maybe I just need to come home. When I’m with you, I feel seen. I feel known and loved—unconditionally. I hope I can be a True Blue for you in return.
But if feels good to be known so well
I can’t hide from you like I hide from myself
I remember who I am when I’m with you
Your love is tough, your love is tried and true blue1
"The color is easier to carry with you" UGH 😭 I love you so
“..it’s not a sin to wear it” waaahh😭😭
