Forever Blue

Visions of your face

haunt my esoteric thoughts

as I close my eyes and

exhale the memory of you

from my lungs.

I inhale

and choke on the clouds

of unspoken words

left behind,

leaving me breathless

and

struggling for air.

I gasp

and search frantically

for you in the darkness,

but you're lost within the

melancholic shadows

of the beautiful disaster

you left me with.

The quiet tranquility

of my universe destroyed with

the bomb you detonated in my chest,

spraying pieces of my heart into the

atmosphere like a

cataclysmic Valentines Day.

I watch helplessly

as what is left of me trickles

back down to earth

in a blizzard of misery.

It wraps me in a blanket of sadness

and sings a melody of

sweet lullabies

close to my ears.

The waterfall of tears I cry

flood my hollow remains,

drowning me in a river of loneliness.

And without you there to save me,

I shall remain

Forever Blue

I’m not a huge fan of heartbreak poems (just becuz there are so many of them) but your poem is irresistible becuz of the way you artfully describe the heartbreak situation. You use a ton of vivid details & you use lots of imagination as you describe being dumped in ways that make it sound like a beautiful tapestry instead of a toilet experience! Amazing how you did that! I almost enjoyed being dumped! Your imagery is beautifully written (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
