Blue

A colour intermediate between green and violet, like the sky or sea on a sunny day.

Example

His blue jeans were a skyline, glowing and bright

I always saw you in blue

Your jeans, your fuzzy sweater that you'd wear even on the hottest days

But you would just roll your sleeves up

Blue shined on you like a shimmering star in space

Waiting to shoot as far out of here as possible

You were the personality of the halls

the positive talk of the room

All you did was be yourself, or so we thought

Blue

A person feeling melancholy, sad, or depressed.

Example

The sad blue boy walked out of class waiting for his end to appear in front of his eye

You became blue, the day you wore yellow

You didn't wear your jeans, nor that fuzzy blue sweater that you treated like your baby

And the hallways were missing your voice, but it was long lost

The teachers couldn't get you to shut up, but in less than a day you became frequently mute

Every inch of you seemed damaged and you spent the day confused trapped in your own mind

I always saw you in blue, but this was a new shade, one that was too dark to see

We only thought this would last minimal days, but months past

You stopped eating to the point we saw your bones

Everyone avoided your body as much as they tried but that was near impossible

It wasn't until the hottest day of the year when you wore a simple black sweater

But refused to roll your sleeves up

That was when i finally realized how broken blue you were

I saw your puffy lips that blossomed different shades of pink

You couldn't make eye contact with anyone, but i could read them asking for help

Your lips tainted with dispirited glum

That was the last time I saw you

It was the next week

Everyone who knew what happened were numb

No emotions were spread besides empty

The bridge that the events took place was eventually tore down

And the note was found in your locker, soon being passed around student to student

The tulips outside your locker were blue. A light blue with emphasis like the morning sun on a hot summer day

I always saw you in blue

But now everytime I see blue

I think of you
