Closure

The chapter’s done, the pages torn
The book’s turned to dust
A lifetime of dreams and best intentionsHunched shoulders and sheltering waves
Of copper and ivory and dusk
Shielded the empty sky pouring downTake away everything I love about this pain
So it won’t haunt me anymore
Cut me off, cut it out
So it won’t haunt me anymoreEvery heart craves closure
Each more difficult than the last
Else they grasp onto shreds of hope
The asphyxiated deadThe heavens split open, the day’s undone
The earth wrenches apart
Every syllable gushing from a crumbling mindCan you escape your destiny?
Do you control your own fate?
Temptation’s suffocating
Do you know what you’ve become?
