Augusta

Pamela Means

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
