“I needed to let her go, and deep down, I knew it. But my soul couldn’t, so I ended up grabbing her wrist and jerking her back to me.”

“From afar, Alex Winslow looked like nothing could penetrate his armor. But he was an artist—and an artist’s armor is full of bullets and cracks. That’s how the lyrics and notes seep through.”
Midnight Blue by L.J. Shen
“Turning around to look at him, I put a hand on his cheek. “Are you happy, Alex?”
“I’m an artist. My job is not to be happy. My job is to feel, to suffer, and to conjure the same feelings in others.”

“I didn’t see the funny, complex, tortured guy I wanted so badly to fix. All I saw was a broken prince with pleading eyes who was on the verge of tears. Man tears. Not angry or exasperated or annoyed. But real and sad and deep.”
Midnight Blue by L.J. Shen
“She knew I’d never been hugged as a wee boy and that I wrote about love in the same way people write about sci-fi: solely from my overworked imagination.”

Missing Midnight
Why couldn’t I live any longer in the blue light
Drinking it up like a lycanthrope at midnight
Now an owl among the eagles in the harsh sunlight
Wishing for cover for my burning plight
Half lidded eyes forced to endure the yellow hue
Begging for the return of the midnight blue
To burst into a fleeting flight feeling anew
Akin to a bat chirping happily as they flew
Why couldn’t I live under the shining moon
Dancing in it like a vampire humming a heartless tune
Forever an owl among the eagles in the hot afternoon
Desiring to be a silken moth in a comfy cocoon
I shall endure the seething glare of the sun
Never giving them the joy of becoming undone
For I absolutely refuse to get up and run
Even if the eagles love to make fun
Midnight Blue
The starry night glow
Of her eyes
They are very kind
I reach for them
My arm outstretched
For the Midnight Blue
Her crescent lips
Never waning
Always staying sweet
I reach for them again
My arm always outstretched
For the Midnight Blue.
