Deborah Burch Poet Acrostic

Blue Monday

BLUE MONDAY

B ereft of life bequeathed wIth loss for ware
L ove cAme, then vanished, like it wasn't  THERE
U nder a Mask i Hide wherE no smile  IS
E ach day Reliving past Events long  STILL

M y inNer strength, it sEems, has lost all  HOPE
O Verall i'm at the End...of my Rope
N othing's Left for mE, but: 'do i or  DON'T'
D id hamleT still have anything to  GIVE
A gainst the torment lanGuished...he gave  UP
Y outh now is gOne and without love...so i !
