I remember laughter. The sound of it tickled my ears, reverberating a bitter-sweet after-taste of a memory. My smile used to woo the corners of my eyes into a joyous furrow. The warmth of its lovemaking left on my cheeks, a rosy stained hue. The unabashed candor of my steps, once a waltz I had thought would not end. It's destination humming a happily ever after. Then like an eerie sound of quiet, you clamor into my life. Your presence an inky blackness, wrapped around my neck, a snake in a choking coil. Your empty promises and whispers of love, weighed heavily upon my steps, a chain and ball to my dance. Time passed quickly. Life, a distant light in the grimy void of a tunnel. Into your bleak future, I am embraced. At last, your demise is complete. I stand before you, a broken mirror. Look at me. Am I what you wanted? Look at me. The shell of you.

Suspended over earth, univers' footstool,
sweeping slowly, a snail's pace
water gathers through invisible veins.
Soon it will fall, scattering tears,
resting to weep out sorrows held long.
Sadness thickens every drop, the thickness of blood.
I have covered the blue with heavy pain.
The earth now knows grief,
like bullets tearing through skin.
Struggling on to a distant non-existant goal,
to disappear wholly as so many have done before,
sorrow has finally relented,
its grasping claws cease to exist,
vanishing with impatient winds.
All is well again.
I am happy, floating freely once more,
to play against man's imagination,
taking forms of all shapes and sizes.
Suspended over earth, univers' footstool,
sweeping slowly, a snail's pace,
I am no longer a Gray, Dark Cloud.
