Watching Brilliance Burn

Now I drown in cigarettes and rum
Instead of drowning in your love
All the mountains you have chiseled
Have crumbled into dust
Specks of memories with glints of brilliance
Slide along my thumb
Drifting along my flesh
Into the void that I've become

Brilliance once so beautiful
Brilliance once so strong
Wrapped up in a smile, a laugh
A glance, a sigh, a nod
Who of us would have guessed
That your brilliance had veered off
Did the sparks that set our hearts aflame
Cause the fire that left you gone
