Like Comets Melting

pretty face
what amazing heat with which we fight
like we were effigies carved from one another
scattered drunk
dust to dust the ashes you ignite
like i was dead to you spilt upon the covers
of a lonely little bed

until we meet again
remember how it felt
like comets melting

over you
such a fool to do what you have done
this stupid burial in spider webs relentless
caught again
the biting fly you've shown yourself to be
with eyes too scratched by silk
to see it in the mirrors that you shattered over me

until we meet again
remember how it felt
like comets in the sky
above everybody else
like shelter from the storm
on the other side of night
but comets fade

'cause the sun rose on the path you chose
to take

until we meet again
remember how it felt
like comets in the sky
above everybody else
like shelter from the storm
on the other side of night
like comets melting
