Tell me something I know,
I would listen again.
Wishing I could mislead my mind ,
From the road where it all began.
Delusions of togetherness,
I once worshipped and embraced.
Whiplashed by the aftermath,
My soul gravely impaired.
Yearning for an ounce of solace,
I'm ashamed of my own doing.
Built myself a fairyland,
Only to watch it burn to ruin.
Befriended my harsh fate,
In memories I'm often drowned.
Amid an abyss of darkness,
Lost but never to be found.
Clouded by gloomy thoughts,
Burdened, lonesome I grew.
Dwelling in a bleak world,
Painted in the shades of blue.
Like a dove sans its beloved mate,
I find myself perplexed and forlorn.
Lost in a storm of uncertainty,
Adrift, by the winds I get blown.

The tongue is like a ships rudder...
Thankyou for your thoughtful comment. I'm glad you found this metaphor relevant to my poem.
Your mind seems sharp to me
Wouldn't dream of misleading it
Enjoyed the rhyme
And although a little sad
A great read
Thank you for your kind words.
I hope your writing brings you solace.
Thank you! That is why I started writing in the first place. Feels good to project my emotions and thoughts into something as beautiful as art.
I feel a sense of loss at the surface of your words, anchored by a deep love connection. A moving piece in its own write. Kudos to you, gifted one!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I'm truly pleased and inspired.
Blue a two edged sword. The color or the sky and sea my favorite of all colors, it also is the emotion of melancholy and sadness . A nice write yet to be completed as blue can turn to a rainbow or colors later on.
Thank you! I hope it transforms into a rainbow soon and I really wish to write about it then.
so many shades of blue and blues !
The shades of blue are hauntingly obsessive. Thank you for the comment.
This is beautiful, you know it's always better to be alone than with someone who doesn't want you ❤️ your blue will turn into something of a shade much lighter one day.
Thank you for your comforting words, Teddy❤. Wishing you good health and peaceful days.
Wonderfully descriptive of the present but remember the sun 'll come up tomorrow. Excellent write.
Thank you for your encouraging words! Means a lot to me.
Really enjoyed this read, nice poem!
Thank you Arastu!!!
