Black and Blue Love
My heart is black and blue now, done so by your claws,
our love no longer valued, ended now I’m told.
The gift of love forsaken, turned to ash so cold,
your path of pain given, with not a single pause.
Once two hearts were so yearning, filled in common cause,
no thoughts of parting, turning from each others hold.
Tomorrow’s promised passion, ever not unfold,
time shared in ways of lovers, living in loves laws.
Now the bond broken and the sky has turned dark gray,
ghosts of days past haunt my mind, in a bitter haze.
The words have all been spoken, nothing left to say,
my future now is shattered, left me in a maze.
Ways of love, mystery, no guarantee to stay,
my heart, black and blue now, mind many shades of gray.
