Blue ink stains my fingertips
From letters I don’t mail, just sip
The night is thick with velvet dust
And every memory turns to rust
I’m not addicted to the pain
I’m just rewinding trains in rain
To see the moment we let go
And learn the angle of the blow
Blue ink, quiet mind
I leave the heavy words behind
If love was fire, let it dim
I’ll keep the glow, not pull you in
The street is slow, a low parade
Of headlights that refuse to fade
I breathe in bass, I breathe in space
And let my heart change shape and pace
No blame to carry, none to lend
Just the soft work of how things end
I’m writing me a gentler line
Blue ink, quiet mind
