5 | They Wait

9 4 1
                                    

they wait
thrift stores, uncovered
closed shops, undiscovered

but yet, they wait
all these words left unsaid
surely, it can't be all that great

to wait
covered lives in torn-up sketchbooks
hiding far away in love's hidden nooks

small lies
they say, 'it can't be that bad'
but it's really making me sad

to see how
lives are fading
unknown trading of souls

and unspoken words
taking place

for patience is great
but lives are going to waste
and it's truly not okay

thanks for reading! have a nice day :)
