Analysis of When Love Is Turning Blue
A vibrancy fades, a hush descends,
Laughter once bright, now barely lends
A spark to the eyes, once alight.
Conversations, dimmed by the night.
Warmth cools to a whisper, a sigh,
A touch that once sent shivers by
Now lingers, a ghost in its wake.
Hearts beat a rhythm, a silent ache.
Is this love's twilight, a fading hue?
Can dawn chase the shadows anew?
Only when love is turning blue
