Shades of blue

Shades of blue
Dilute 
Through the 
Veins of a 
Sorrowful 
Heart,
A network
Of winter
Roots,
In the cold
Of a loveless
Season,
My veins
Scream for 
Love,
At the doctor's 
They tell me 
I am mildly hypoxic,
Perhaps
It's true,
Loneliness 
Can kill,
But my tongue
Is a cemetery 
Of unspoken 
Words,
"I love you"
Has been killed
A thousand times,
These lips are 
Anchored to the 
Sands of silence
