Mia Blue Heart
Mia Blue Heart spoke only in sad, garish tongues.
She saw only darkness even in the warm rays of the sun.
All the town's people stayed far away from her opaque view.
She breathed only in silent shadows of the deepest shades of blue.
As time withered on, she withdrew into a cracked shell.
Nobody cared to really listen, and she was unwilling to tell.
They say that the blueness was ignited many springs ago.
On an icy mountain ridge topped off with blackened snow.
She had a young lover who presented her a diamond ring,
On one knee he'd promised a rainbow filled with all her dreams.
Chivalry strode up the mountain to make good on the vow.
A late spring snow rushed in; the reaper began to howl.
Caught mid-stride, before he could make his way back down.
He died on that snowy ridge- his soul escaped into a cloud.
The next morning, they brought his bones back down.
Slowly drew back a blanket that she'd lovingly had woven.
She never cried a single tear, but her spirit was split wide open.
She gazed upon a spray of wildflowers; he'd been true to his vow.
Mia Blue heart drifted into the mountains and never came back down.
