Blue Heart

I once had a love that was a cruel lie Moments of passion we shared together No other thought could occupy my mind The smell of her intoxicated me Moments of passion we shared together Adrift on a sea of red rose petals The smell of her intoxicated me Yet there was another she chose instead of me Adrift on a sea of red rose petals The color of the heart I offered her Yet there was another she chose instead of me Sometimes love can be a fickle guest The color of the heart I offered her Devoid of oxygen it turned to blue Sometimes love can be a fickle guest I wanted her more she gave me less Devoid of oxygen it turned blue My heart matched the color of my eyes I wanted more she gave me less Still I would not change a single thing My heart matched the color of my eyes Now with this heart I was able to see I wanted more she gave me less In the end it worked out for the best Now with this heart I was able to see This woman was never meant for me I wanted more she gave me less My blue heart no longer belonged to her This woman was never meant for me Moments of passion we shared together My blue heart no longer belonged to her I once had a love that was a cruel lie Incurable Romantic Contest.

...This...got me. Wow, incredible how we may think someone is meant for you but isn't. And especially when you give and get nothing in return. I can relate. So sad... I loved it!!

Hi Caleah Sometimes it takes a few bad choices to help you learn what is most important.

I like the way you handled this Malaysian form! "Why does love have to be so strange" - as the song goes. Peace & blessings Matthew Anish

The heart matched the color of your blue eyes! That bit was brilliant. THe heart must have been VERY blue! :) I'm sorry that you had pain due to this relationship. Love can be cruel. Glad it all worked out for you in the end. Loved this.

This is a great poem ... as always, your talent shines through. Using the second line in the first stanza as the start of the next, works well. Excuse my ignorance, but what do we call this format?
