The rain came down, the city lost its view / I kept one little promise: I would make it through. I watched the morning split the dark in two / The streets were still the same, but everything felt new.

How to write stronger blue rhymes
Choose the meaning first. “Blue” can mean a color or a sad mood. Pairing it with “true” can suggest honesty; “through” can suggest surviving something difficult.
Vary the sentence, not just the last word. Instead of repeating “blue / true,” try endings like “out of view / follow through.” The phrase before the rhyme gives your lyric personality.
For multisyllabic rhymes, match more sounds. “Out of the blue” and “counting on you” may share a similar ending in some deliveries, but they are not identical whole-phrase rhymes. Say them in rhythm before choosing.
