The Sun Does Not Cooperate

now a song


I once was not a man
I was a body of water
Strayed from the watering can
And hid from the clouds
And dark skies


I stayed inside
In a land full of lies
I forgot to participate
And every atom separate

I slowly did evaporate
From an ocean,
To a puddle,
To a slice of dry space

Never refilled by a pretty face
I wanted to cooperate
But the sun does not cooperate
