How?
[Clare Boothe Luce]
How do you keep on going on your own?
How do you lose your flesh and blood and carry on alone?
I thought we'd meet in heaven
Is heaven even there
Or is it only stars and empty air

Hello?
There must be something more
Something more, isn’t there? Isn't there? Isn't there?

How do you get through life bereft of faith?
After you’ve prayed the seventh day, who listen on the eighth
Does prayer dissolve beneath air and vanish in the void
How do you bare your burdens with belief itself destroyed

How
How
Tell me how
How to reclaim the person you once were
What's the point of all the fame and power
Why do I feel unsatisfied with all that I've accomplished
So empty inside
Unfinished, goddamnit, I took a magic drug
To show me how to grow
150 micrograms
Enough, not enough, not nearly enough, no

How do you save a marriage without love
Physical love, the human touch, I get so little love
I was so blind, self centered
For somebody so smart
Succeeding without hearing my own heart
I pushed their love aside
Til they died
I live on, all alone, [?]
And what now?
Persevere?
Tell me
How
