Love Poem: Paint Me Blue

Paint Me Blue

Remembering days of azure skies,
     I dream of you,
     Knowing we're through.

Cerulean thoughts impose;
     Tomorrow I'll begin anew.
     How?  I haven't a clue.

My heart's encased in cobalt walls.
     Where's the joy we knew,
     Happiness that grew?

Lonely, indigo nights await,
     Wondering what I can do,
     Nothing more to pursue.

'Neath night's sapphire cloak,
     I eat my words. I chew.
     How did I misconstrue?

Angst, veiled in navy curtains,
     I ponder love once true
     Until you withdrew.
