Midnight blues

midnight blues are the bitter leaves of the jungle
shrugged and cut off before they ever touch the skin
unless the hunter forgets where he is
he's protected by the edges of his sword
midnight blues are the bruises of the soul
leave it alone and you're safe from trouble
touch it just once and the pain begins to resonate
the throbbing commences and the tears roll on
the night is a blur unwanted until daylight comes
yes let's forget midnight blues, let's remember no more
