you’ll always cry but never laugh,

surround yourself in darkness

only to see a small glimpse of light.

you’ll die but never give birth,

you’ll exist but never live.

you’ll drench others’ paths,

with your tears.

pain is all you cause,

yet we still love you,

or rather-

we read books while you die,

stay inside while you die,

cover our heads while you die.

you cry and die,

but we focus on ourselves.

you always cry

but never laugh.

surround yourself with darkness,

only to see a glimpse of light

then disappear.

some love your death,

others may sneer.

but none are your friends.

we watch you at your ends,

you always cry

but never laugh.

you’re just a cloud,

destined to die.
