Dark Clouds Over My Poetic Skies

To pretend happy
I cannot anymore.

Scars mock me,
for  every act I try.

Dark clouds guard
where my muse used to fly.

I feel my own hands,
strangling, the one ray of light,

Like an island under the wave,
I feel my tresures being washed away.

Under the rain of my own tears,
I feel them wet the soil I stand.

Then like every water cycle
evaporated into clouds, dark

Clouds suffocate,
my single ray of light.

I only have tears,
and I'm feeling my own muse dying.
