Cobalt Heart
The skies were azure
and my heart like slate.
Indigo blood running
through my veins like
steel.
My lover left my soul in
pieces of prussian stone,
the last goodbye kiss
was royally arduous.
Midnight came and I
knew of love…
no more.
Living in Carolina he
showed much piety.
Those sapphire eyes
clearer than the ocean.
But his heart turned
cobalt and he left with
ease, now my deep
anguish shall never
refrain.
For there is no longer
cerulean tenderness.
