“You left me on a day like today,

when the sun was too strong to hide

behind the clouds that tried

so hard to cover up its shining power.

Sometimes it’s hard to hate these days

even when they make me think of you.

I try to swear at the sky

but whenever I’m ready to release

the words that I’ve been rehearsing,

the wind dances along

the parts of my skin that are exposed

and eases some of the loneliness

that you left behind.

Sometimes I think its trying

to apologize to me for the way

you left. Maybe it had some part

in your final decision of going away

for good. But either way

I appreciate the attempts

the wind makes when trying to

help me forget about you,

but no amount of comforting

condolences can relieve the pain

when it comes living through

a day like today.”
