This is it.
The end of us.
We can't ever be.
I realize that now.
We were built for night and now it is the breaking of day.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
I'd do anything to delay this terrible
Horrible
Terrifying
Heartbreaking
Beautiful
Sunrise.

We faded like fragments
White bed sheet tales now
We used to smoke like trains

I think I can, I think I can.

Ashed in each others hearts once or twice
But I didn't mind
With the sunlight on your face

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

I crept across the sheets
Looking at you hungrily
Your eyes danced down my back

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout

We collided without a sound
I watched your lips part
And muffled murmurs were all that escaped

Hush little baby, don't say a word.

But those tales are only tales
And these white sheets are empty now
I don't know why you left me

How I wonder where you are.

But I mourn for you like a dying lover
And while I do,
I long for another, to take your place

Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack. All dressed in black, black, black.

Yet no one aside from you,
Has taken the time to look inside
So, slowly, I find myself emptying

Ashes to ashes, we all fall down.

And so I wait. And I remember.
Amara Pendergraft 2013

I'm sorry that I only write of sad things.
All I want is a little confidence
A little more courage to say what's in my heart
And all I want is a little guidance
To tell me what to say and where to start

All I want is to know I've got a chance
And that I shouldn't give up hope
And all I want is a shot at romance
And to know I'm not at the end of my rope

All I want is to know that I won't be alone
That there's someone who will be by my side
And I all want is to know I'm not on my own
That someone is waiting for me outside

All I want is to know I'm not wrong
That there really is something there
And I all I want is to know I belong
And that you really care

And though I may ask for everything
I know just one thing to be true
That when I say I want so many things
All I really want is you
