Muse is Blue

Loss is love leaving lavender lips dry
As a sunless sky and moonless night
As bothered as babe who’s red eyes cry
And hollow as a jilted wilted barren bride

You took love depriving my muse oxygen 
Weeping she waits for it to breathe again
Cranberry kisses are no longer a dream
No imaginary white wedding dress esteem 
Nothing borrowed not even the blues
Only sorrow came when love left clues

What are they you know them southern bell
Dreamed of hoped for by white wishing well
No Prince Charming tall dark and alarming
Feeding fantasy with rainbows when storming 

Love is gone and perhaps reality laughs
At rosy love song leaving aftermath black
No longer painting days nor walking with sway
Loveless life is one of strife
Feeling some kind of way
