Into the Blue
I am sinking into the Blue
 The Blue, which I know, consumes you too
 For there is no clear right 
 And there is no clear wrong
 Our story isn’t the making of a common love song
 It is unclear where our true loyalty lies
 When either decision leads to our demise
 To do what is expected
 From the family I’ve neglected
 Or risk all of my being
 For a single chance at fleeing
 Bloodlines only run so deep
 But a broken heart, you forever keep
 We’ll pack our bags and call a car
 Intending to travel very far
 Away from this place that was never home
 A place that has no space to roam
 I hope someday they will understand
 That I cannot follow their demand
 So I am setting off to look for you
 For now this day is almost through
 I am running to the place we’ll meet
 Avoiding any open street
 I try to ignore the subtle ache
 Have we made a big mistake?
 I spot you by our secret place
 A smile spreads across my face
 I wave but you don’t look at me
 You’re staring at a nearby tree
 Then suddenly my smile fades
 As sharp pain cuts like razor blades
 There is a deafening sound
 And then you crumble to the ground
 I am frozen; I don’t know what to do
 I am sinking back into the blue
 I see him, watching in the distance
 Smug that I have now paid for my resistance
 He turns and leaves
 As I sit and breathe with heavy heaves
 Beside your body, now covered in red
 An image I will never get out of my head
 They will expect me to return 
 Though they harbor no real concern
 By the morning they will hear of me
 For I will be resting in the deep blue Sea
