WORDS: Midnight blue

Forever
drawn
to
blue. 

Dusty shades of a storm,
almost grey in the sky so blue.
Indigo always makes me feel,
with shimmering hues of ocean blue.

But there is a force so blue;

unlike the colour that I love.

The kind of blue that is empty.
The winter kind of blue.
A deeper kind of blue.
The love lost kind of blue.

Blue is my favourite colour;

this type of blue is not.

Waiting for red
in my favourite
cotton ribs;
feeling soft in blue.

Our lifetime imagined
now lives in the stars.
Outside of my womb.
Midnight blue.

Blue is not the colour I am feeling,
but the colour that is healing,
alongside this sadness
that is blue.

Blue is my favourite colour;

 but right now,

I
am
feeling
blue.

Goodbye, little moon.
