I stand, where the rain can't reach me where the pain doesn't push and pulsate beneath the umbrella made of wasted words and broken bones
She hangs down on me and over me she catches the dirt from the road and the flies from the sky I stay safe and dry beneath her skin made of brown, yellow, and red
She keeps me clean, against her best intentions but it is I who control when she's up and when she's down the pale, salty skin of my hands pushes her down, holds her up and over my head, soft hair, light brown tresses
She, is the bright life in the sky and the dark mother of the moon but I will never know and they will never see because she lives in my possesion her only use is for me.
