...waiting...

I remember waiting for you
through the dark minutes of the night
creeping on into dawn's pale light

mostly, it was only the rain that came.

All this time later
you wait for me through the black
thinking of how to get me back

nothing between us is the same.

You wait for me, alone
in the cold darkness of your heart
in silence, longing for another start

and hoping, you whisper my name.

I hear you and see you
but I can't touch you again
knowing how I'd fall back in

and I'm not up for playing the game.

I can't bear to watch you waiting
still, sad, and freezing there
expecting the warmth I used to share

when I waited and you came.

I have to close my eyes in shame
we now have no one left to blame
