the sky stares at me
begging me to take a picture
i shake my head
"no," i say
"i must wait from dusk till dawn"

the sky frowns in pain
"i'm sorry" i say
"but i must wait from dusk till dawn"

the sky asks why, and i reply:
"i have to see him. i have to see him before i take my last picture and leave this world"
the sky turns cloudy, and tears fall from it's eyes

the sky suddenly says:
"if you must wait from dusk till dawn, i'll be here for you. but i ask for one thing in return"

"what is it?" i ask simply

"don't leave him. i'm not ready to see you up here.
its too soon"

she was an angel
or the devil incarante himself
when she looked me in the eyes
and broke my heart

"we can't do this anymore" she whispers
"and why the hell not?"
"because......"
"because what?"
"i'm dying on the inside every single day," she says, her voice cracking

thunder and lighting swirl around us in harmony,
representing the relationship we had

"goodbye, anna marie."


as i left, she uttered words i'd never hear

"i love you, mason. more than you could ever know."
