Storm clouds gather over head
and match the sadness felt inside
with rain that falls from eyes instead
to meet the sky that cried

Shallow puddles fill roads traversed
ensuring footsteps shan't remain
and things that are so well rehearsed
with loneliness and pain

Desperate longing betrays the mind
serenity, now a fleeting dance
the world around, bleak and unkind
to souls without a chance

The wind it breathes in heavy sighs
whispers to empty things around
remaining sombre; so many lies
silence, the only sound...
