Mars

Can someone tell me why these clouds are so low? Or why these broken leaves don’t belong to the tree I’m sitting under? Everything around me is changing And it has me starting to wonder I’ve been looking up at Mars We have been seeing each other for months But surrounding him are stars Whispering “she’s starting to drive us nuts” The moon is almost full In the moonlight there is a flower The waves push it close to me But will soon take it in an hour Cut me open Let the water in I need something to ease the pain There was a time I was happy And I actually enjoyed the rain But the rain foretold my tears So I retreated from the clouds and their twisted predictions But it was the story of this year And how it made me stop and listen The water glows in the moonlight The clouds are moving higher I always end up watching the sky And I always end up feeling tired
