Waiting

I wish I could save you.

I've seen you pass by a thousand times

And every time I know that you’re not mine

A new girl every week; she’ll be done with you

Tears on your pillow, that’s all you do

I’ve seen the fire in your eyes

You can’t pull it together, it’s no surprise

 

I can pick up those pieces and put you back together

Mend your broken heart; I would do that for you

The endless nights of bliss will last forever

Can’t you see this is all for you?

Why can’t you see?

The one you’ve been looking for is me

 

Now you’re all alone in the rain

Drowned in lovelessness, not so sane

Look what those selfish girls have done to you

Even to yourself you can’t be true

I see the light in your eyes

Shining from behind that pitiful disguise

 

Thunder and lightning, please blow the storm away

Even at the end of the world I would still stay

You just want someone in the empty side of your bed

Trying to ignore the crazy thoughts inside your head

Before pulling the trigger like you planned to do,

Know that someone here still loves you

 

I see the longing in your eyes

And I lie here, waiting for you

Author's Note

Another very old poem of mine, but I think it's worth sharing. I actually had a tune that went with these lyrics...I really wish I could find that music sheet now!

Another outstanding poem. The scenes were expressed well.

"Before pulling the trigger like you planned to do,
Know that someone here still loves you"

That line had a profound impact on me, for some reason. I love it. I think I'll write a poem about it. Thanks for the inspiration. :-)

A very good chapter.
"I can pick up those pieces and put you back together
Mend your broken heart; I would do that for you"
I like the desire to repair another person. A strong ending to a outstanding chapter.

Again the rhymes are awesome. i can hear this in my head as a song when i read it!
i like the story a lot. Girl likes boy, boy likes other girls but is constantly dumped. poor kids.

Very beautiful poem, It's so spine-chilling that you love someone but yet she does'nt know your the one for him. Bravo.
