HOW COULD I?

I burn again, embrace the pain
I long again, for nought to gain
Alone again, I seize the day
At peace again, I need to stay

Seething with each word
Is there any other way?
A tragedy never heard
O'er the darkness I say

How could I, with my great stride
Rip a hole in the sky above?
Drink all the rain it can give
And decide that it's not enough?
Tear down my sun from up high
Hoping my arms can bear the love?
How could I, with glass collide
And deign to yearn with eyes of blood?

The past is only a memory
And those, too will burn away
All that we can hope for
Is the fleeting to be saved

Though I need your touch
My lips quiver such
How could I call you mine?
How could I even try?
