Cloudy Day
Kezia Bechtoldt

My mind awoke to greet a cloudy day
They weigh me down, these silent dreams of you
I cannot leave my bed, I wish to stay

Can’t say I felt much better yesterday
Each horizon failed to breathe a breakthrough
My mind awoke to greet a cloudy day

Last week, I drove fast along the highway
Headed west, unsure of what to pursue
I could not leave those dreams, they wished to stay

Last month, I felt I’d kiss you somewhere midway
Between my dreams and reality. I could not subdue
My mind. I woke to yet another cloudy day

Last year, I calculated, tried to weigh
The many deceptions I tried to undo
You left, you walked away—I wish you’d stay

I’ll never breathe a word, go ahead—run away
I’d chase you with my love, but I’d just come unglued
My mind awoke to greet a cloudy day
I cannot leave my bed, I wish to stay
