Vanishing Blue

My tears are blue
My solemnity is true
To where my thoughts have gone
A place so very strange
And for that I’d have to blame
This wicked, twisted game

It’s a fairly simple game;
Its box is a lovely blue
The goal: to find a target to blame
Does not matter if it is true
Not all see how that is strange
They are the ones who end up gone

I was almost gone
A victim of this game
It wouldn’t have been strange
For me to drown in blue
Though it could still happen, true
I’d only have myself to blame

At least, you’d tell me I’m to blame
That’s how it’s always gone
We both know that is true
Those are the rules to this game
Where my thoughts get colored blue
And no one thinks it’s strange

And now my mind is oh so strange
And I really don’t know who to blame
As now my soul is turning blue
Its pieces almost gone
Being stolen by this game
Though you tell me that’s not true

And it’s hard to tell just what is true
It leaves me feeling strange
And I wonder how long we’ve played this game
That is always seeking blame
And then that thought is gone
To be replaced by blue

I’m stuck in this game
That claims to be true
I can’t escape the strange,
                           the blue,
                                    the blame
