Waiting

Behind closed windows the sky was bruised
She felt too comfortable in the dark,
As she laid on a bed with her skin exposed
Thinking about a poem with roses

The feeling of missing someone had become painfully familiar
So she picked up a green pen
Hoping writing some words might make the lonliness wither
She still dug a fingernail across her arm again

Behind Blue Eyes was playing
She couldn't help singing along
Would she ever be as beautiful as a song?
She might never stop waiting

Author's Note

I began writing one thing and ended with another. It's about what I was doing and what the setting as I wrote, and what I was feeling/thinking as I wrote. And the song is by Limp Bizkit. Thanks for reading

(I know you wrote this ages ago, but I'm discovering your work for the first time now.)
I enjoyed that. Very poignant and delivered gracefully :)
Behind Blue Eyes is also a very lovely song and imagining it playing works really well here.
..though I'm more inclined to imagine the original version by the Who.
Nice work :)

In short words u have describ lonlyness ...though some people lives lonely even if they ate surrounded by others ...they prefers to stay alone rather than seeing those eyes full of hate and biterness

This is a simple but awesome piece. Your descriptions made it easy to imagine the character in my head. Thanks for sharing.
