Sapphire Blue

Sapphire blue and sometimes green,
It felt so vivid whatever was seen.
Those wild and messy waves;
And a place full of empty space,
The brightest of oranges in the sunset,
And that floral dress like in a vintage chest.
Sure feels lonely, but beautiful as ever;
To walk alone and be free like never.
Living a life too good ,it could have been a dream
The sounds of water and that warmth in that stream
Too scared to shut eyes or would they open any minute now?
But it is too early to know where what and how.
White and blue sky ,maybe it is a lie;
Fluffy white clouds.should I try to fly?
Reality has never been this beautiful,
To think it is, no I am not a fool.
Or is it time for “never” to end?
Too many scars are left ,yet to mend.
Brightest of orange or that sapphire blue
Or the struggle each day to find something new
To dream of the ideal and work towards it
Just to end up as someone’s project, it was all a skit
Characters I play to be what everybody wants
There is an empty space, Oh! the one that haunts.
Sapphire blue and sometimes green
The beach is empty yet so serene
Vivid as ever but now I have realized,
Realities I once lived have made me wise.
To the brightest orange sunset I now say,
Just wait for another day.
