Lost in Blue

Torn out pages,
Cut out holes.
Screwed up paper,
Mind in hell.
Strangled heart,
Strung out pain
Hold you forever,
Loved in vain.
Lame from running,
Tired of games,
No place to hide -
Too dog gone tired.
Frozen lips,
A virgin kiss
My love mistook.
Belief in you
Forever true
Now a teardrop,
A prison,
Salty dew,
Morning lingers,
Light bursts in,
But midnight shares the lonely room.
Fallen at the crossroads
As our life began to fade.
Misplaced youth,
Love for you.
Oaths forgotten ...
Lost in blue
