Bench
Long days I sit outside,
Awaiting lonely souls.
I feel the presence of new love,
Blossoming around me
But I know it will not last;
Longing to feel company
By one who never leaves me
The marks on my frame
Are the constant reminder of my guests' struggles.
They come and rest alongside me
Eyes shining, hands swinging
They etch their stories,
Yet they crash and burn to a pile of ashes
I don't move as the rain drowns me,
And as soon as the misery dissipates,
I await the light to give life to my bland self.
I await the one
Who sleeps with me every night;
He keeps me company.
I hope he never ends his story.
