Message Lost

Dawn can’t break when the sun has burned to a crisp
There must have been some supernova i missed
My ultimate snapshot - “sky overcast”
Go out with a whimper, not with a blast

You open up your eyes, open your up arms, open your everything
Lay all your holy vows and unholy charms - all of you before me
And so you run, and so you run, and so you run like a stray mutt
After a mutt-
After a muttered confession of love

The haze
Lingers above
The pale dawning arc

Day can’t break when the sun has burned to a crisp
There must have been some supernova i missed
My ultimate snapshot - “sky overcast”
Go out with a whimper, not with a blast

To scour the blackened, soot-covered earth
To cry out my name in violent birth
To settle for naught and settle the grudge
When there was no jury, i was the judge
Open up my eyes, open up my arms, open up everything
Lend me your dying vows and undying charms, i can still hear you sing
See you there standing calm by the open window in the living room
And all the light in the world converges on you
