‘And the sky had never looked so blue.’

Write a poem, ending with this line, which focuses on hope and positivity.

Blue

The sky had never looked so blue

As the day I met you

The day the flowers bloomed

And the wind zoomed

The sky had never looked so blue

As the day We fell in love

The day I kissed your lips

And the day your hands were on my hips

The sky had never looked so blue

As the day we said our I do’s

Or the days we drank too much booze

Or the days where we promised not to lose

The sky had never looked so blue

As the day our baby was born

And the day she said my name

Or the day she won her first game

The sky never looked so cloudy

As the day you came home sick

Saying it was just a cold

Because we were getting old

The sky had never looked so cloudy

As the day you slept to late

And the day you barely ate

Because you claimed to have a stomach ache

The sky never looked so cloudy

As when you stood without a smile

Or when you stopped singing songs

To help the day along

The sky never looked so cloudy

As the say you fell apart

and the day you begged for help

Because you didn’t see a purpose

The sky never looked so dark

As the day I beought you in

The doctors ran the tests

And you wept into my chest

The sky never looked so dark

As the day you help my hand

Your body riddled with pain

And awful thoughts filling your brain

The sky never looked so dark

As the day you started declining

As the day our daughter asked where you were

As the day your wedding ring stopped fitting

The sky never looked so dark

As the day you uttered your last words

And I had to make plans

To see you in a coffin

The sky never looked so black

As the day I told our daughter

That you were not coming home

And she cried all night long

The sky never looked so black

As the day it all set it

And I begged myself to give in

But I stayed as if you were living

The sky never looked so black

As the day I saw you in a coffin

Wearing your best dress

looking nearly alive

The sky never looked so black

As it did when you were lowered six feet down

And your daughter tried to stop them

But you never came around

The sky never looked so blue

As the day I woke up

And clung to you

Because dreams are more haunting than memories
