Rose Colored glasses

This is a complete rewrite. I wrote this original poem ages ago when I was still new. Hope you enjoy the improved version.

Would someone please give me
Back my rose colored glasses
For I have just realized
He doesn't need me anymore
My fiction has faded to black

My longing out weighs his need
Even when we were lovers and friends
Without these spectacles; a world of gray
And saying goodbye is another end

I crave my rose colored glasses
So I can pretend to be happy
Delusionally shouting my love to the masses
Desperately seeking my heart to mend

Reward given to the finder
Of my precious rose colored glasses
For they transport me to my happy place
Allowing me to escape the pain
Oh wait, maybe I dropped them at his place

Author's Note

this is a bit sad and has a bit of sarcastic humor. I hope you like this one it is a little different from the others.

Maybe you left them with him so he could see the world through your eyes. The perception of the world changes with those glasses and I think many people have a pair of them on right now. I like having no rose colored glasses for some reason. Another great write by you to make us all think beyond the words.

I love the idea which provides such a focus for the strains of a relationship that is not really working, with its pretence and delusion.

The last line drops into a kind of prosaic style - as if we leave the flow of poetic thought to hit reality.

This is during a rocky time in my life for many reasons. Fast forward...years have past and we reconnect as friends. It was hard to do the rewrite cause this has changed and changed again over the years. It's complicated but at the moment we are friends and he promised not to disown me again. Side note I'm in a strong loving relationship of five years.

very clever ending and clever use of glasses.

[InkSlinger]

[Ruth]

Wow, I like this :)
Those glasses are what a lot of people wear I think when it comes to the emotions! lol
A beautifully written poem love, moving too.
A world in those glasses is easier though! A unique poem love :) xx

I like the originality to this piece. It's almost as if you were seeing the world differently when you were with this person and wearing the glasses. And now that you are not with him, you don't want to face the world without the glasses. I enjoy reading your poems, and I'm sure even though this is a tab bit sad, the sarcastic humor does make up for that! Thanks for the read, and keep up the writing! :D

[Dream Weaver]

You're right it is sarcastic. I like this one a LOT!
I am a sucker for the mushy and/or the cynical, (odd combination I know)
Great job!

[Millionth Muse]

Aaahhh...much better! I love what you did with the last line!
