Red Planet

It's been almost 20 years
On the red planet
A place where there are no tears
It is just water floating
No, they're not quite emoting
I dream of the other days
Of the times I held you
Left in an autumn blaze
Now I idle in bubbles
Just collecting the rubble
Well I waited for you out here
But that was just delusional
And I've painted all these pictures
Of earth but that's unusual
Unusual to you
Met at a seminar
Shared the same table
Brush by you at the bar
Didn't match your description
It soon became my prescription
I think of the junipers
In the spring going
Far along the jupiter
It doesn't draw a reaction
Temporary distraction
And I waited for you out here
But that may be delusional
And I painted all these pictures
Of earth but that's unusual
Unusual to you
And I waited for forever
And that was just delusional
So I painted all these pictures of earth
But that's unusual
Unusual, unusual
To you
