There’s nothing more between us, no not anymore.
Last night I heard your key, for the last time in the door.
We both knew sooner or not, we’d come to a parting of ways.
We knew our relationship had seen much better days.

Every time we were together, I fell in love with you.
Every time you said you loved me, I knew it wasn’t true.
I hope you get everything, I seemed to get from you:
Grey days, black sleepless nights, a cold lifeless moon.

And a crayon –

To color your world blue, so it looks just like mine.
A world with clouds, where the sun never shines.
A blue crayon to fill in those pages of grey
Washed out by tears that never go away.

All colors in my life, now replace shades of blue.
I’m creating a rainbow, a life without you.
My pages of grey, are washed out by my tears
All gone forever, along with my fears.

Muse, thank you, for responding. I used the color blue for more than one reason...one is that it is my fav color. And it can be related to a variety of emotions and feelings.

many people write poems about lost love and the like, but few write them with such originality. I praise you on a job extremely well done.
