Faded and Blue

 

It began with nothing more than a smile

followed by an innocent hello and hello

a spectral voice calling out of thin air

a seraphic song playing in my lost soul.

Are you a real lover from another life

that’s returned to my breast once again?

I reach into my heart, searching for clues

But each time I’m left empty-handed.

 

When you leave, you take the light

While my questions hang, suspended

nothing but heartbeats fill my sore head

and the feeling our souls have blended.

 

Someday you’ll return, then we’ll know

we had such a shocking breakthrough

the reality which faded to sheerest black

left in its wake hearts, both faded and blue.
