out of the blue, into the blue

in a soft sigh or quiet curse
    a bubble of pain
in the embers of a fading fire
    sparks of memory
in the hollow of the chest
    echoes of love
where the smile doesn't meet the eyes
    mania or melodrama
        depending on the day.

awoke from a dream with a leaden heart

out of the blue, into the blue

I haven't cried since you left - 
    that hurts more than anything
