The Ribs of a Broken Umbrella |
She was only just a girl in a picture |
But he thought if I could only make her smile |
Then she’d be mine |
He’d folded it, re-folded it so many times |
He’d already lost some of her to the creases |
Precious pieces |
He wondered how close he’s ever been to her |
In this ebb and flow of the distance between us |
Maybe she got the same bus |
And he left a trail of string wherever he went |
When he was sleepin', he tied it to his toe |
If she crossed it, then he’d know |
But he knew |
That all was unravelling |
And he was bare |
Stripped of his skin |
Like the ribs of a broken umbrella |
Sticking out of a bin |
He’d pull his collar up against the wind |
Against those who said that trying was the first step to failing |
Oh he was railing |
And filled with newfound purpose and pride |
He’d make something of this heady glow |
Now where would she go? |
