UNDER THIS DREARY SKY
...drowning in its howls. A heart that beats but not quite right, And your absence filling all my nights. I hoard blurred moments, Laughter cracked in broken segments.

The air hangs heavy, thick with "what ifs" and "maybes" past, A faded photograph, a moment held, forever meant to last. The firelight dances on forgotten faces, ghosts in yellowed frames, A silent echo of laughter, whispers of forgotten names......
