Blue is an important hue.
It covers skies on cloudless days
and gives the ocean its deep shades.
Now it is the only adjective that describes me.

It defines me,
redefines me,
directs me,
and misdirects me.

Like the ocean thousands of leagues deep,
so is the void that I sense as I weep.

Friends left me waiting
and lovers disappeared,
but
you
were
there.

Now you have left me alone.
Not for long, but it is long enough.
Long enough to leave me hollow.
Everything is tainted, changed.

All is grey...

...and blue
