Stygian Overcast

Yesterday, she read my eyes as I gazed at the clouds This time, gray ones, shifting shapes and singing elegies This was not the first time, nor would it be the last So my eyelids kissed, and they drizzled down Between white patterns and hypocrite matter All of importance covered in thunder Scent of darkness, and mind that teetered Among shy waves and empty tears That damaged and scratched the wrists in my heart Maybe the water would exorcise my demons Or maybe I hoped that I would drown Today, she read my eyes again as I gazed at the clouds This time, zestful, flashing decor Her lightning blitzed the ground around Even though I ignored the sound and gazed at the clouds I still noticed the crack in the overcast
