blue line

a star fell when you shut the door of your old car
you were blue, so blue baby
that's what you said you were

left me with candy
and melancholy for a name
left me with nothing
but memory and moonlight
and a love un-ordained 

night melodies own me now
my prayers wrapped in barbed wire
so I'll sell your old truck
and your sawmill
but it won't be enough

no more loving
or side mouth kissing
no more on the road fudge eating
no more loving you, love
we simply ran out of time

but I'll read how you loved me
lover
in every blue line

this is for all those who keep the hand written notes from all those that once loved them & all those beautiful goodbyes
