Beryl Edmonds Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Blue Hole

Blue Hole

There is a blue hole where my heart is
It's been blue since the day love parted 
I don't know why it did 
The reason is kept hid
And here I am sat broken hearted.

It could have been something that I said
The thoughts keep racing round in my head
I said "get going Jeff"
That's the moment he left
And I can't see why he got upset.

Perhaps it was he misunderstood
When my intentions were just for good
Was being romantic 
Got Jeff feeling frantic
And running off as fast as he could.

Or did Jeff think that I meant ‘get lost’
I didn't mean that, I say with heart crossed
I wish I could see him
Though the chances are slim
The flame once red hot has turned to frost.

Brandy Nicole June 4, 2021 at 6:51 PM What we say, can be easily misunderstood. Depends on how the other person takes it. We mean well, but, they take it to mean something else. You express this very well, my dear friend.
