rain and gray
in stories the weather always reflects your sorrow
your tears bring rain
the sky matches the gray of your mood
and the landscape is as dark and empty as you feel
in reality the weather is a taunt towards what you lost
your tears sparkle, as if they are beautiful, in the sun
the sky is a light blue incompatible with your ugly shade
and the landscape is bright and full like you were, once
in stories you never weep alone
your pain is understood and shared
there are people still there to care
and in the end you’ll get up again, stay strong
in reality you only ever weep alone
your pain is neither noticed nor comprehended
there is no one left to pick up the pieces
and in the end you’ll only shatter like you always feared you would
in stories you’ll get your happy ending, no matter the struggle and strife
but in reality the story woven about you isn’t so nice.
