Augusta

after the show i watched a show about earthquakes
predicting underground movement of the earth's plates
a tiny twig snaps then the branch breaks
the very same way the human heart aches
i sleep alone tonight up here in maine
but i've got a perfectly memorized view of your face
your right cheek where i watch your pulse race
one of your wonders that fascinates
your mother has been welcoming
she opened the door to your family
but the pain of rejection has a reach
even all the way from athens, greece
you were told to tell half your life
to keep your secret as a sacrifice
but you're the only one who is compromised
you're the only one with anguish in her eyes
the main difference between them and me
i love you for all you are yet to be
every fiber of your entire identity
you are my happiness you're inspiring
