Light Blue Lover

by Reid Genauer

Who left this light blue lover
Lying in the cave of my chest?
Who left me holding silence
Even though it might have been best?
No way, no one, nowhere could ever confess
To have known such pleasure in such plural excess
I hope that one day I might catch my breath
But I gotta let her go, I guess

My shadow aches and itches
It's a sentiment my silence permits
I walk through foggy feelings
With punctuated pain when it hits
No way, no one, nowhere could ever express
The way her body met the hem of her dress
I hope that someday I might churn with her flesh
But I gotta let her go, I guess

There's no light
There's just night
I hope to rest
But I gotta let her go, I guess
Light blue lover in my chest
