The sky is crying
in a grey robe.
It cries and cries.
I wonder what for.
Did someone hurt the sky?
Did it fall and graze its knees?
Did someone call it names,
Or was it mocked by the sea?
The sky is still crying
in its usual grey robe.
It cries and cries all day and night
I wonder what on earth for.
Is the sky lonely or missing someone?
Or is the sky laughing and tears fall from its eyes?
I can't find a reason for the sky to cry.
But maybe its hurting deep down inside.
I have seen the sky everyday
And yet I know it not.
I know it exists and I notice its mood,
But I don't know a single of its thoughts.
I miss the sky when it was blue,
It brightened up the day.
But now it only seems to cry
cloaked in its robe of grey.
The sky is crying all day and night
But I know not what for.
Its eyes are red at deep twilight
from them do cold tears fall.
"I cry and cry through day and night
But no one asks what for.
You don't understand my heart, it fights
to get up off the floor."
The sky is dead, she was so sad
But no one tried to see
That she was broken all the while
and inside she would bleed.
Author notes
the sky is a person if u havent gathered. the speaker in the first 7 verses is someone who used to be friends with her, who that is depends which way u read it. someone who sees her at school or work perhaps?? then the 8th verse is the sky herself speaking. and the final verse would be either a news report or her old friend again. for the verse seven verses the sky is an 'it' but after she speaks she is a she. which is supposed to express that no one saw her as a person until she died. the last line in the 8th verse is meant to signify being shot down. imagine urself lying on the kitchen floor, is this a pleasant thought???? how do u imagine u got there?? this poem came to my mind last night when it had been raining all day. the rain reflected my mood greatly and the sky had never been more cloaked in grey clouds. i hope this helps you understand the poem more and this poem is meant for you to read at and understand it in your own way. to build ur own story to this girl. im not telling you wat happened to her. u tell me????

Love it Great images

Like the images. There is a song you would love by Mother Earth" called "Tonight the Sky is About To Cry. " I think you will find that this takes you away into a land where the words stroke the rain from your heart .
Grey is a tender color. It is where black holds onto a dream of white. Rain becomes a symbol of tears and life. Wash it all away.
Love,
