The leaves allow the sunlight to move in a way I never thought it could The rays tap themselves against my glasses But I'm not bothered For I am fully aware of her motives Harmless and sweet, Simply thirsty to soak up a piece of the earth my body has made its friend
I let my body roll And the sponges of light cover the green strands, Strands compressed into the shape of my melancholy curves Letting out a small sigh of exhaustion
And me and the sun sit side by side And we watch the trees together And we tell each other that its going to be alright And that the loved ones will come home And that the pie in the oven won't burn And that, for the first time ever, we will be able to call ourselves beautiful
We tell each other lies We lie until the sky begins to darken I lie to the sun and she lies back The two of us lie smiles onto each others faces And, once she has reached home, leaving me with a "let us do this again" I know that she is leaving me with another lie And I am comforted Because even the sun feels the weight of the world. The only difference is she has the ability to remove it
