Beneath A Gray Sky
wet sapphire eyes 
 stabbed with knives of pain 
 long Sienna locks, 
 soaked through with the rain
 
 my legs buckle at the knees
 I can't walk I'm lame
 my heart collapses on itself
 my mind is broken, insane 
 
 smooth, soft, pale skin
 drenched and streaked with dirt
 narrowed eyebrows, tight lips,
 your expression cold and curt
 
 the wetness soaking through your clothes
 your skin sticks to your shirt,
 tears are flooding from your eyes
 those pools of endless hurt
 
 gray hood pulled up stiffly
 shadowing your face
 shoes untied, dirty brown
 mud and muck on lace
 
 silver ring on your finger
 thrown down in reckless haste
 on the tip of my wet tongue
 ash do I taste
 
 harsh words, feet turning,
 you're walking away
 I am left here all alone, 
 beneath the sky of gray
 
 each of us always apart,
 like leaves fallen astray 
 my heart and soul will both be dead 
 by the end of this bleak day
