Ace of Hearts
Go on and cut me to the quick-
Please just get it over with.
I'm standing here with arms outstretched,
Heart on my sleeve, yes I'm a wreck.
I know this really isn't me at all,
But I'm mid-way down a bright freefall.
So take my heart and break it, too
If that is what you're meant to do..
And leave me later to my solitude,
But not before this night's pursued.

Addict
I feel like an addict deprived of a fix.
Oh, it's time again.
I'm fighting the tears that just aren't coming
I consider the loss, but I feel nothing.
I'd rather be anywhere that wasn't here
Too many memories in your absence, I fear.
I'd rather be fucked up than thinking of you.
I can't stand the let down when your plans fall through.
I even looked for you today..
But I saw I was alone, and I looked away.
I knew you wouldn't be there but it didn't matter.
I needed the flash of hope before my faith shattered.
So thank you for giving what I didn't need:
Another addiction and a hateful seed.
But somehow I know despite my efforts
I'll keep it here with me forever.

Am Yours
Between these promises and these memories
In the midst of this it's just you and me
And if I had to guess then surely I would say
That I'm headed where I'd not aimed to stray
But I've got to throw this out there- that I am not afraid
And in every time of doubt I look on to better days
So forgive me for my weaknesses and pardon all my sins
I am not the perfect girl that you thought might exist
But I'm standing here right now
And I am letting all this out
I give myself to you
Because you're all I'd ever hoped for
And I am not unsure
You are all I hoped for
And I, at last, am yours

Amy's Shoes
Reality is shaken with a desperate plea-
Another soul has been set free.
Thick tears falling, breaking ground-
Where tragedy screams, there is no sound.
This scene is crushing; it's touch and go-
It's in black and white and playing slow.
The end is certain, though not one to expect-
Every word held back has turned to regret.
Why this loss, Lord? It's not fair-
Please wake me from this stark nightmare.
Two footprints are left like ghosts in sand-
Knowing only that she's in better hands.
Take her, God, and set her free-
But tell her to remember me.
