Waiting

I'm putting what's mine on the line.

It's all for you. And it'll have to do.

I'm broke, but I don't smoke.

Just 'cause I whine don't mean I do crime.

I won't shed a tear when the end is near.

You won't see me cry 'cause you told a lie.

You won't see me sad when things get bad.

I won't get furious, when you get curious.

Curiosity killed the cat and that was the end of that.

We're all mad here a cat says with a sneer.

Cats don't talk, so I won't gawk.

Snowflakes drifting, reality shifting.

Sanity gone 'cause I don't belong.

Vultures screech, colors leach.

Ravens caw, tearing my heart with a single claw.

Easily gained, easily lost.

Experience gained, but at what cost?

'Cause I was waiting in the storm of endless hating.

Waiting for you.

Waiting,

Waiting,

Waiting.

Hating,

Hating,

Hating.

I waited 'till the pain was too much.

'Till Death had me in his clutch.

And I was frozen with a single icy touch.

Now I wait.

Frozen in my own head.

Not alive but not dead.

Waiting for someone who will never come.
