Vulnerable
And defeated worn out heart
Authentic lover so true
Sunset arrived much too quickly
Blanketing you in Midnight Blue.
Sorrow nearly destroyed you
As you wept waves of utter despair
A flash flood of tears - ever so devastating
While 'static' was alive in 'questionable' air.
With no rainbows to follow this cancerous tempest
No pot of gold - this time, waiting for you
For your desperate cries have gone unnoticed
Alas, you are still covered in deep Midnight Blue.

A blues poem....Midnight Blue. Yes, this could be expressed musically too. Great words and images evoked of a Broken heart. Nice musical flow.

Kelly, you are correct. Your perception's are always spot on as usual. Thank you for reading and commenting.
Interesting. A little confusing- -I'm unsure who's blue- -you, or someone else, but overall- -I like your poem.
I could hear Billie Holiday singing this. Unfortunately, for one to write so well of this, it must have been experienced.
Edward, thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my words.
