Stygian Blue, 
Why can I see you now?
Gibbous moon,
Obscure behind clouds,
Behind your truth,
The way you see me now,
I'm not like you. 

Suns, despite the clouds,
Light the day, give them power.

Unmoved? My son,
Watch as I consume. 
Blue dyes, blue dyads,
Subdue the fire, 
Blue dryad, bid adieu. 

You can speak in volumes,
Ultimately, like cartoons,  
True rivals speak silence.
Stygian Blue, I see darkness.

Like the way you see me now,
Like the day gives way to cancer,
Blue dyes, blue dyad, give me favour. 
Lift my nails up from the bed,
Grace my skin with pigment.

Perhaps then how, you see me now,
It's the colors you can live with.
