settle into certainty evermore
it was a heart attack at the age of twenty-four
smiling and blue on the hardwood floor
locked bedroom door
the last thing I remember
was you walking away
your long black hair that set fire to the air
your empty eyes

sometimes the weight of the world comes crashing down on you
just find the place where she's marked in the snow
on the other side of town
before the sun goes down

nyack with the sky in flames
rushing up to block out the sun
everything had come undone
you said that you could save everything
I promise you that you were wrong
