Dark Clouds

He stared at the dark clouds above him,
Maybe because he is missing someone who is now no longer alive,
Even when everyone said they are still there with you,
He believed that they didn’t,
Maybe because he sees himself in the the darkness of the clouds,
Even when everyone told him he didn’t exist for them,
He believed that he did,
Maybe he thought his heart to be as dark as those clouds ready to pour down,
Even when everyone around him said he didn’t have one,
He believed that he did.
