Red Black and Blue

Red Black and Blue

Don’t put your arms around me

Displaying phony comfort

Trying to convince me that everything’s going to be alright

Houdini, I’ve seen this trick before

And I know the way this story ends

Busted bloody lips, swollen black eyes & a variety of blue bruises

That stands out menacingly

For everyone to see

Not the gentleness of I love you

It ends in red, black and blue
