Painted black and blue
You stripped me from my innocence. painted me black and blue you'd tell me that you loved me but honestly it wasn't true. You told me I was beautiful and that no one else compared. Expect for the entire naiborhood who would have stopped and stared. you told me not to tell anyone and even if I dared...

The Midnight Hunters from The Black and Blue Lodge
(A sad lone voice whispers) My old love Loved shaking her crow blacked hair As old daydreams tumbled around her Like autumn leaves in the air On any given day or night Dreams of divinity Of God and light Like the first thing you see when you close your eyes at night Temporal spaces filled with familiar faces Crooning like...
