I think there are some things we don’t get over
I’m comfortable with my pain
Where is my queen of swords? Where is my queen of spades?
She dances in blue and speaks not a word
Last time I saw her, I pretended I did not
She’s by his side and I’m nobody’s king
Glances in passing
I couldn’t stay concealed
Eye contact like frost: a cold snap in spring
I’m suspended in motion
Travelling forward, but locked in the moment
I woke up to the fact:
I threw us away, along with the chance of recovery
My queen of swords; my queen of spades
No way to reconcile ‘what was’
With where we stand today
I’m facing the end of time
The death of worlds, of gods, of everything
Understanding we no longer share the road
Time has passed
And I’ve resigned myself to what I know
Trying to stay warm, in a world that’s growing cold
But I have hope
I can’t see what’s ahead for me
So I have hope
I have hope

Recovery is its own reward
I wouldn’t ask for more than I’ve regained
My approach is not without its flaws, yet I can be content in keeping sane
Journey laid out as narrative
Telling how I’ve blossomed, learned to live
Take apart the plot and character
Continuity errors appear
Grateful to have found a little peace, and direction gives me hope
My mind feels safe
But right now I feel inadequate, as lost as all the trust that I misplaced
...and that’s okay
Journey laid out as narrative
Looking back at steps that led me here
Take apart the plot and character
Continuity errors appear
Errors appear
In my more quiet moments, I’m aware: I’ve still not moved on
At risk of being torn to shreds by the same sad songs
Bittersweet old memory (memories)
Wrapped up in those melodies

Evensong

Pure will
Push on
Forever unfazed, his lethal calm is a smoke that closes the throats of all in his path
He has held steadfast
He has stood firm and endured the plots of the jealous good
And all evil below
He wove suns from the fires that his brother bore
Weave suns:
Shape the stars under the watch of one further above
She works for his regard
She’s offered up her life and soul
Lover and servant intertwined
She is majestic
She holds a place within his heart
But it’s clear where the power lies
He works to exist outside his father’s realm
She would follow him anywhere
But his destination is a place she could never go
He maintains his essence there by force of will alone
He has escaped creation
In the end she is left with nothing but his name
And his fires

The Crash

Live life fast, witness the crash
The match has burned out, he’s never coming back
No one could have stopped him
The price you pay for feeling nothing
Only solution was another drink to help you to forget
Coming to rely on
Things that most would frown upon
It offers some release
We all establish ways we find relief
It offers some release
What if mine was slowly killing me?
The impact is still felt years down the line
Now I see you striving to keep it inside
Hands full, holding back a tide of feelings
Live life fast, witness the crash
The match has burned out
He’s never coming back
Where do we go from here?
What does this speak of the bigger picture?
It offers some release
We all establish ways we find relief
It offers some release
What if mine was slowly killing me?
Searching for some comfort, kind words to offer up
Chasing a fleeting hope and finding there is none
Struck hard and swept away by sudden waves of shock
Our voices linking to lament the ones we’ve lost
The impact is still felt years down the line
Now I see you striving to keep it inside
Hands full, holding back a tide of feelings
Chasing a fleeting hope and finding there is none
Live life fast, witness the crash
We’ll carry on the best we can
