A Quiet Comet

Sitting solid on a thinking throne Drinking bottles that sing melancholy tones Singing lone, resonating to your bones Your fragile little frame cannot save the show Not when you're casting skys clouding with crows Your mind is pale, sick to it's stomach Everything up there can't reconcile, but luck It's begun to resonate quietly like a comets tail When your playing on mental jungle gyms of shale I'm sure there's things that keep you up Drugs, and alcohol, and fasting all day A cyclical belt of asteroid tales You think so much you've burnt an image Of cotton dreams, so soft and harsh, but somehow sail You may never grasp them, but you've reached so far you've become so frail It's hard to try, it's even harder to pry Open your heart, and let yourself cry The castles you build are built of tears, and the cemetery near is calling your fears The foundation is weak, and your pastor you seek, but everything you've found thus far, oblique Cast your shadows as you will, but they're just funny puppets you've conjured in the night still
