Every time I try

Not to be that girl

Who waits for phone calls,

Checks her volume,

Be that little sunshine,

And holds on to rough promises

Like dying embers and ash,

I would still be

That girl.


That girl,

On-bended-knees,

Howling over the moonlight,

Wetting her pillows at night,

Her scarred soul with its fading glow,

Slowly letting go.


That girl,

Lightheaded,

Became one with the wind.

Clothes disintegrated,

Cracked lips,

Closed eyes,

And the faintest of a smile.

Can now finally taste

That sweet, sweet sensation,

Of coming home.


That girl,

Who sang your songs,

And danced with you,

Now singing her own songs,

Dancing to her own beat,

Not thinking of you no more.
