Cosmogony

Coma sleep and drowsing pills
Cheapened dreams left to be killed
All of it burns just the same

Vapor love, can't make you stay
Ashes through my mangled hands
All of it hurts just the same

Whisper not of yesterday
The burns still fresh, smolder remains
The space inside my chest an open wound

Tears strewn across a lilac page
Your last letter now kindles flames
How was I so cold to you then

Coma sleep and drowsing pills
Dams that always threaten to spill
All of it floodwater to drown in

Can't keep you, love, can't make you stay
Like ashes through these bloody hands
All of it just falls like rain

Whispers pure, in the spaces we meet
The wall before me insurmountable still
But I hunger, oh how I hunger

Tears strewn across a lilac page
Or has it only been this rain
This godforsaken storm that never ends

If it all came back to you again
What could we say? What could we do to sustain
If it all came back to this again
How do we assess, how do we spark a light

If it all came back to you again
Oh, how I've missed your scent, I've missed you so
If it all came back to this again
How do we start the fire, how do we burn it bright

The stars above are shimmering
The crucible of heaven radiant
The love I scream to the sky
The dreams we shared
How can we reconcile them now
