This is a moment,
in my life.
I want to be more for you.
I want to give you all of me.
I want you to see.
all of the goodness I can bring.
but in me,
these limits are all I have.
The right church;
the wrong pew.
The love in my heart.
Just isn’t enough for you.
Right now,
I can only give you half of me.
I know that’s not enough
for you to see.
All if have is half of me.
When you want it all,
at night we’re left with empty sails.
This colder shade of pale.
This relationship is to no avail.
This sadness song you wail.
This time we’re not the chosen ones.
I am not your holy grail.
Just another passing midnight ship,
another empty sail.
No diamonds, rubies nor emeralds;
Just at the end of this rainbow,
an empty pail.
