The Expectation

Did you hear me when I cried out?
Then, the skies melted into molten oozes of blue
And dripped sloppily onto my house, smearing the pristine paint
And the sun fell out of the sky, as if to lose its grip,
And hung there, drunkenly and broken.
Were you affected by the thundering sounds of me
Rattling my abode, iron clad and hollow,
where I have so snuggly inhabited?

I was looking to you to, strong and shining,
Gold in your armored suit ...to listen…to arrive
With arms extended, riding on your stately stallion,
swift, strong, shining and gold.

    the sky's always dripping blue I find
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    I agree with the imagery comment there. Good description of the world you imagine in your head! I admire that ability.

    I like at the end how you describe "you." Those adjectives really emphasize the type of person the speaker was waiting for and creates a clear picture in my mind.

    Thanks for you input, I didn't think that this one was going to get much response.

    Anyway, this one...
