Amanda watches in the dark
Still without a thought for you
Visible is not a spark;
She knows only that this is true.

Still without a thought for you
Amanda waits and bides her time
She knows only that this is true:
Loneliness can be sublime.

Amanda waits and bides her time
Letting thoughts go bit by bit
Loneliness can be sublime,
When sadness seems a holy writ.

Letting thoughts go bit by bit-
Visible is not a spark-
When sadness seems a holy writ
Amanda watches in the dark.
