Love Poem: Days Before

Days Before

My eyes fall heavy, heavy to the grey 
 The heaviness is over-bearing with more 
 and more to weigh

 Smoke so thick, filling up my lungs 
 A song hoped to hear remains unsung 
 In the distance I struggle,
 struggle on to see...see what lye's 
 ahead waiting just for me..

 I pray for clearer skies 
 for the grey to turn to blue
 for the weight to lift to less
 to the life I once had knew

 To the days before...
 my world came crashing down 
 when smiles I wore 
 instead of this frown
 when colors existed
 highlighting the sky
 when days where so much brighter
 before we said goodbye...
