I buried you in blue
the colour of water hidden under the ice
not frozen and lifeless
but inaccesible
trapped under itself
in a different form
I thought it fit you well.
I buried you in the cold
and pray I will
forget you.

I'm a fan of shorter poems and this is a fine example of why.
Very nice work here.

This sent shivers down my back. The tone, the spacing, everything about this poem I enjoy. Best wishes.
