like a sparkler that's been lit
it's all now coming to the final point
and I can see the gist of it
I may have missed a few of your notes
but what were you expecting
in every mirror, in every thought
it is here again reflecting
I opened up my heart to you
and it spewed out everywhere
like a soda that you shook, too much
contents spraying in the air
all those sticky droplets,
that stain if not wiped up
the glass that once remained half-full
is now an empty cup
yesterday has ebbed away
like the sea from the smooth sand
what I needed most from you
withdrawn just like your hand
sparklers eventually fizzle out
dying with one last glow
the actuality of anything happening
was like hell that gets some snow
