today a dark cloud
hung over your head;
I could see it written
all over your face
instantly my skies turned grey
as your overcast spread
and I wished that my empathy
alone could take it away
but that stubborn cloud
would not leave you,
as my heart ached
for your sunshine
and that terrifies me.
that your sadness
means partly cloudy
for my forecast
i don't want my
mood to mirror
yours, but it's
impossible when the
highlight of my day
is hidden behind
pursed lips and
furrowed eyebrows
I can only pray
for clear skies
tomorrow, my dear
or I, too, shall
dwell in the darkness
with you
