Where Clouds Follow - May 14, 2024

corrupted dreams

damaged feelings

uncountable disappointments

 

clouds that ring her head

when we talk

and who can tell

 

if she drags them along

or they move with the low

pressure of her mood

 

the gloomiest ones cover her

when we talk of lovers

and loneliness

 

but for a desert

dark rumblings are only

threats of rain

 

because even when drops fall

they are never enough

to silence desperation
