Partly Cloudy With a Chance of Tears

The weather

around me

is partly cloudy

with a chance of tears.

Sorrow made

an uninvited visit

and will not leave.

Bags packed with

yesterday’s regrets

sit upon my chest

chastising me with,

you should have,

you could have,

now it is too late.

I pray for blue skies

hoping the weather

forecast won’t be

forty days and

forty nights of tears.
