Shifting Sky

Dedicated to John. This poem is all about him.

Darkness spreading
seeping by,
Hungry souls
will leave him dry

Blue sky shifting into gray,
make his torment go away

Slowly breaking,
shutting down,
full of pressure all around

Stuck within a troubled past,
hope of love is fading fast
Eyes stay full of frequent pain,
broken promises still remain

Living with a hungry heart,
can not let it come apart

The smile that you will try to fake,
can leave you numb while your awake
While true love comes to those you know,
and leaves you stuck under the snow

Blue eyes cry out one last tear,
no more sorrow will appear
Nothing's standing in the way,
make the darkness go away
