My Gray Skies

When you love someone, the sky should be a beautiful blue.

 Where are those blue skies that should smile new beginnings for me each new day?

I can't seem to find them. I look up, and I only see these cruel frowns of a deeper gray.

If I close my eyes tight enough, and wish hard enough, I think I can see sunshine there.

But then those gray skies, bitter with your memory, remind me of how much I still care.

It all rushes back to me in a flash as I remember so much -- all the love we'd shared.

The whole world didn't matter. We'd taken love to new heights... yes, this we'd dared.

I guess things do change, though. There's never been a truer truth. Am I so wrong?

I close my eyes again. And for always, there you are in my arms -- we dance to our song.

Just something small that reflects so much.

The poem ryhmed and it didn't seem forced or desprate to write like some of mine do. I really like it.

You really said a lot here, and I like how it is kind of like a story instead of the classic poem form. You use complete sentences and say things that are happening. That might not make sense, but it's a good thing. I really love this poem.

You get that empty, dull static inside of you in those flashing moments. Eh, sickening. i know the feeling.

very poignant and revealing. well written and easy to read. i have said before our best writing comes from the feelings we are familiar with. excellent write.
