Wanted Guest
She sits quietly in her
living room on the couch
As her fingers constantly
touch the phone as if to call to make sure
But she knows the
guest will come but in her heart there was doubt
Time seems to be passing by or so it seems
Anxiously, she begins
to pace back and forth in distress
Oh, how could she
be so blinded by her desire?
And not see that she
could have avoided this whole mess
Time seems to be passing by or so it seems
It was only yesterday
that they had talked about it
Agreeing that today
would be the day
Yet here she is feeling
like she's been rejected and hit
Time seems to be passing by or so it seems
A sudden knock brings
her back from her thought
Excitement suddenly
fills her heart, embedding deeply
Realizing her long
waiting was not for naught
She opens the door
with a smile after she sees the guest standing there
And all doubt fled
from her in an instant
To be replaced with
contentment that she could hardly bear
