Oh So Blue

Blue
Seeps into my skin,
Down my spine,
Into my eyes,
Fills my lungs,
Envelopes me.
It’s sadness,
Its melancholy,
It’s cold,
Freezing,
It’s the crisp winter morning air.
It finds its way into your bones,
Into your soul,
Until my skin resonates the same shade.
Until my breath is foggy and frostbitten.
Oh so blue.
