Flatbottomed blankets of soupy-grey clouds, br Frowning downwards, silently dour and still. br Clinging tenuously, while winding around br Each tendril of light, icy breath wisping br Away ectoplasmicly skyward. Reminds me br Of mind-clogging stupified, shadowy days br When dated note brought what I 'd knowingly br Guessed - you had gone - and left crazily br Dashed hopes of any togetherness, but br I coped, and eventually by willing br This cloudy, overcast life away, I cut br And unplugged any unshed tears, killing br Stone dead my future fears I adopted br An obstinate smile, misery now stopped. br I had outlasted grey days and moved on.
