Hello everyone… It’s been another quiet few days here. It’s so hard juggling mummy duties and writing at the same time! I finally finished today’s post last night after procrastinating for about a week lol.
Still on my ‘For Coloured Girls’ series, today we hear from the Lady in Blue.
You may want to read previous poems in this series –
Part 1: Carpe Diem – Lady in Brown
Part 2: Pro Choice – Lady in Red
Part 3: Forlorn Love – Lady in Purple
I wake up every night
I see the same thing in my dreams
I see myself…
Tears in my eyes
Muffled screams
I cannot let this keep happening
My story needs to be heard
…
I used to love blue
The sky
The ocean
I got a blue bracelet once
I was told it signified trust
Loyalty
Truth
…
So the day I met you
I thought you were the one
The sky was wonderfully blue
You wore a blue shirt
It matched your pretty blue eyes
And I had on my blue bracelet
You see – perfection!
…
On the Piccadilly line we rode
Crammed up during rush hour
We talked and laughed
And made silly jokes
I felt like I’d known you a long time
And for a split second
I imagined what life would be like forever
…
As time went by
Your friends I knew
And our friendship flourished
Like a blossoming flower
We enjoyed each other
Hours felt like seconds
Time was never enough
…
It seemed not so strange
When you invited me over
We’d done this time without number
Movies
Popcorn
Wine
And a goodnight kiss
…
Until one day
It became my worst nightmare
A goodnight kiss
And a caress here and there
Backed I leaned, signalling you to stop
But
You never did
…
I used to love blue
Up until that night
My little blue dress
You ripped to shreds
My bracelet gone
Right along
With my trust in everyone
…
Now I’m a shadow of myself
And life has lost it’s meaning
I have a frown
Where my smile used to be
Everything seems to bring me down
Blue now reminds me
Of a life I once knew
…
I still see you
Every now and then
You look past me like I don’t exist
A glint in your eye
A smirk on your face
I see you lurking
Looking for your next prey
…
I cannot let it happen
I will not let it happen to another
You took with you
A piece of me
But that’s the last piece
You’ll ever see
The last piece you’ll ever have
…
I summon
All the courage in me
And walk into the station
With your details on display
Who am I?
A different woman, with new found strength
I am the Lady in Blue
