Meteor Showers

The meteor showers 
Come call with their rain 
The season is ours 
But the day is the same 
All of the windows 
Are shut on our veins 
And the keepers and widows 
Don't know what to say 
The meat eaters sing 
And chew on their smiles 
And our tears keep chasing her 
Right down the aisle 
Our cheekbones start singing 
Of moments devoured 
And we keep on breathing 
This poison of ours 
What is the answer 
She says with a laugh 
This cancer keeps coming and 
I have nothing left 
I took her will 
And read it aloud 
And she gave everything 
To this child of ours 
No one came back 
To the cage on that day 
And the wind at our backs 
We ran so far away 
Nobody asked 
They just opened the gates 
And the flood waters came 
And they took her away 
We cast our hats 
To the floor and compiled 
A collection of songs 
To calm us awhile 
We sang the chorus 
And let the verses go wild 
We have no voices 
Just bones and our smiles 
The sleepwalker stepped 
On the stone in the garden 
It creaked when he left 
But she slept through the night 
And the water keeps running 
Down the sides of our lies 
We let her die 
And we mourned for our loss 
But left alone thoughts that 
She deserved what she got 
We watched her cry 
To every god with a name 
And we let her die 
And we took no blame 
The meteor showers 
Come call with their rain 
The season is ours but 
The day is the same.
