Sparkler
it's all heating up with just one match like a sparkler that's been lit
it's all now coming to a head and I can see the gist of it
I may have missed a few of your points but what were you expecting
in every mirror, in every thought it is here again reflecting
I opened up my heart, and it spewed out everywhere
like a soda that you shook, contents spraying in the air
all those sticky droplets, that stain if not quickly wiped up
and 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what I needed most from you withdrawn just like your hand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 dieing with one final glow
the actuality of anything happening was like hell getting some snow
