The Mackerel Sky

The mackerel sky with scaley clouds
that paint the cerulean air
as we lie and look into the expanse
with that vacant empty stare

We dare not look into each other's eyes
for fear we might break down
we hide the tears, and all our fears
tomorrow you're leaving town

We choke on words that can't be said
for we know that this is the end
we're parting today, yet we want to stay
in touch, but just as friends

How can we be friends after all we shared
the dreams, and empyreal love
unable to look into shared eyes
we stare into clouds above

The vault of heaven serves to remind
how empty my world will be
as I look at the vapor that floats in the blue
the aether supplied by me

Tears turn to mist and rise in the east
transpired thru the pain of my heart
as I sublimate a world of clouds
everyday from the time we part

In the days and the years that follow today
when you look at the clouds in the blue
remember that they were all supplied
by the tears that I cried  for you
