A/N: not sure of the ending ... ?
On the Side of the Sun
When the sky is angry with me,
I can tell
I am sure that one day the sun will disown me too
Say,
“Hey lady,
You’re covering too much Earth
You gotta go, you gotta go”
It splinters my insides to think
the clouds are watching me thinking
of how much meat I eat
when is it too much, enough
I can never tell when the lights go out
The moon stops looking
and I’ve lost track again.
OH just look at the colours
all blue and pink and soft peach
one look in my direction and in comes the black and red
I only wanted to be a part of something special
But this Earth is just too good for me
JUST like my mother
who left me last 4th of July
because I was setting off the fireworks too early
in the kitchen,
in the living room where Uncle Joe was sitting
and too close to his eyes
and I’m on fire
it just gets her eyes flaming
even if the orange has died
and JUST like my brother
who said I was too secretive
yet when the cops had asked me
where he’d been all night
I said “arrest him, he’s a nuisance”
Just because I needed sleep
now he’s still pissed
and I’m still alone.
When the sky is angry with me,
I know
The way the colours wrap around each smile
and strike right through me leaving nothing but a trail……
