| Wait |
A SUDDEN BURST OF ANGER
THE SIGHT UN ENTHRALLING
YOU SLAM THE DOOR AS YOU LEAVE
A PROMISE OF DISGUST ON YOUR LIPS
AND SO I SIT.
I'M WAITING WAITING WAITING
WHEN WILL YOU COME HOME?
A RUSH OF DISAPPOINTMENT
A HEART IN DISARRAY
WHERE COULD YOU POSSIBLY BE?
WE WITH ALL OUR VICES
A BARRIER OF UGLY JEALOUSY THERE
MY HEART CRIES OUT TO YOURS
WHERE COULD YOU BE?
I'M SITTING, SADNESS & SORROW ON MY MIND
WHEN WILL YOU COME HOME?
I'M WAITING WAITING WAITING
MINUTES LIKE YEARS
I'M COUNTING SECONDS AS THEY PASS
HOURS GO BY...
YOUR STILL NOT HERE
IS THIS HOW LOVE IS TO BE?
A MIXTURE OF HEARTACHE AND HAPPINESS?
ALONE ONE IS LONELY
TOGETHER ARE YOU TO FEEL THE SAME?
I CAN TELL YOU NOTHING
YET, EVERYTHING IS KNOWN.
I'M AMAZED AT YOUR CLAIRVOYANCE
SEEING LIFE SO CLEARLY MUST BE A DIFFICULT TASK
MUST BE VERY FRUSTRATING TO NOT ALWAYS CONVINCE ONE
SUCH AS I
TO BLINDLY FOLLOW ON YOUR PATH.
ITS BEEN HOURS SINCE YOU STORMED OUT
AND I, WITHOUT A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN.
AND SO I WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT
HEART IN THROAT, HANDS CLAMMY-
EACH PASSING VEHICLE A PROSPECT FOR YOUR ARRIVAL
BUT THEY DON'T STOP.
MIND REELING, ASSUMPTIONS PESSIMISTIC
WE BOTH HAVE MUCH AT STAKE
ALL I CAN DO IS WAIT.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE YOU ARE
HAVE NO CLUE WHERE TO LOOK
THE CHILDREN ARE ALL SLEEPING.
SO ON A BED OF EGGSHELLS I WAIT. |
