The Shade of Blue

The shade of blue looks so good on you
You are an eyesore amongst the hazy crowd
Ironically even when you face your back
I still find you so damn hot!

The hours flit so slowly
I don’t feel existence when you’re around
I don’t confuse a heartache inside me
Yet I can’t help not getting mad at you

A part of me draws near in any way
Yet my name isn’t a part of your vocabulary
Your world revolves around an axis yet outside my universe
I hate to realize the awful truth of you not noticing me.
