I wanted to write another poem for you, my sister. Instead someone sung a song for you. It's the only one I have been listening to today and it reminds me of you, of how I feel. It's sad, I know you wouldn't like that, but it is how I feel still, maybe even more so now that a year has passed. I love you so much. I wish you could see everything that has transpired since you left us. Maybe one day, when I see you again, I'll figure out a way to give you my memories so that you don't have to feel like you missed out on anything. That is my greatest sadness in life now, that you aren't here making memories with us. I wish more than anything that you could at least see.

2am, where do I begin
Crying off my face again
The silent sound of loneliness
Wants to follow me to bed

I'm the ghost of a girl
That I want to be most
I'm the shell of a girl
That I used to know well

Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again

Too afraid, to go inside
For the pain of one more loveless night
For the loneliness will stay with me
And hold me till I fall asleep

I'm the ghost of a girl
That I want to be most
I'm the shell of a girl
That I used to know well

Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again

Broken pieces of
A barely breathing story
Where there once was love
Now there's only me
And the lonely...

Dancing slowly in an empty room
Can the lonely take the place of you
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Let you go and let the lonely in
To take my heart again...
