Skies of Gray

I'm lonely driving all these miles 
The clouds take on a darkened hue
Full of raindrops, like my eyes
Full of tears that cry for you

Moments come where I'm so sad
But then they pass, it's not too bad
It's just the love that's in my heart
That aches as long as we're apart 

And that's the constant...aching pain,
A heart that's thirsting for some rain 
To come and quench the burning fire 
Of longing, pining, deep desire

Writing keeps my sanity 
Expressing my humanity 
It helps to write out how I feel
An affidavit that it's real

Skies of Blue, an ode to you 
In truth though, they're not always blue
As long as I await someday 
This says it better, Skies of Gray
