Dark Cloud

When dark clouds appear in the sky,
I’m trapped in an endless nightmare.
With torn wings, unable to fly,
The hopelessness gives me despair.
I feel lost like a ship at sea,
When dark clouds appear in the sky.
The shadows in my heart scare me,
I’m afraid, but I must still try.
Hiding behind a mask, I cry,
In the shadows where I met you.
When dark clouds appear in the sky,
Can you see the dim moonlight too?
No darkness lives on forever,
To all my pain, I say goodbye.
I am the one I should treasure,
When dark clouds appear in the sky.
