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 up your 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 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 turned 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 the naught and settle the grudge

When there was no jury, I was the judge

Open up my eyes open up my arms open my 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
