she's a raincloud
in a clear sky
and no one claims to understand

why she'll always see
the darker side
and welcome winter in.
but there's always something -

somewhere in her heart
she hides her worry
sets out to meet the day
like nothing's wrong

but the grey
always shows through
and no amount of sunlight
can hide it

and
everybody's got it now
so that means that you
should want it too.

she holds her storm
beneath transparent layers
never looks happy enough
to pass for normal

colours wear away
and the grey of her heart
always comes through
in the end

she feels alone,
day after day,
for who could love
a heart that aches constantly?

only yours.

take my cold hands
and begin to
unpin my heart from my sleeve

and put it
into your pocket,
safe and warm.

[I am]not empty.
