Waiting

 

Wait here – I will return

The last words you lied to her

Even now they twist and burn

And so she waited, didn’t stir

Upon a road in the blackest night

Waiting alone for a life to live

Scared too much to know the fright

Shedding tears until none were left to give

 

Until the cold was just too much

Until the rain had soaked her through

Then she looked for a warm touch

Something that would shine true

 

She walked slowly at the first

Where she had last seen you leave

Surrounded by tears she knew thirst

For a love in which she cannot believe

Faster now she starts to run

Towards the light only she can see

Eternity for her without the sun

Is the only way she can be free

 

Until the light was just too much

Until her tears had soaked her through

No longer does she need a human touch

Now she sees the lies and knows the true
