November Skies

<p>Awakening in the dark From dreaded dreams of cold horrors, stealing your breath No light, no warmth left In the dreary sunless morning</p><p>Struggling to take a step forward Groping for something clear, something out of reach Blinded by the grey dusk of the dawn Hammered down by the merciless sky</p><p>No one's staring at the sky The grey petrified wall Sad leaves cover the ground Falling rain's the only sound This cruel time, it has no soul Smiting hope, drowning dreams Your voice is lost in the wind Devoured by the gruesome dream</p><p>So lost, feeling dead Is it only in my head? Tell me, do you feel this way When the skies turn leaden and grey?</p><p>Death permeates the air Its putrid stench smothers the earth All wet, all rotten The rain runs in the dark gutters</p><p>Strength leaves the body You wander in a drunken haze, hugging the walls Hoping no one sees your eyes Emanating sadness</p><p>And now it's noon The feeble rays of sun creep through the mist Like rusty nails Ripped from a coffin of a suicide victim</p><p>You stumble home There's nothing there except darkness You sit alone in the walls Sipping cold tea and praying for a change</p><p>When you lay to rest The rotten dreams come again at midnight Leaving you with dread The sun doesn't come to your aid</p><p>November skies are watching With an all-seeing eye They remember all your downfalls They wait to wave you goodbye They chronicle all your sorrows And wait for you to weep They never hide from your sight While you wallow in your sleep</p>
