Altered Demeanor

He skips in 
With a large happy grin
Full of himself
He continues walking in
The sun is shining
The sky is clear
All his worries disappear.

He walks in
with a stale simple look
Confused by himself 
He stops at the door
Rain is patting down the windows
Light clouds in the sky
His worries begin to appear once again.

He stutters in
With a small noticeable grin
Not sure anymore 
He walks back out
Heavy rain is attacking the windows 
Dark clouds in the sky
His worries are much stronger than before.

He never showed up
Didn't even show his face
Completely carefree
He never showed up 
The sun is shining
The sky is clear
And all his worries have disappeared.
