Waiting For You

Something I wrote when my soul-mate left me. She came back for me a couple months later.

Everyday that goes by,
I miss you a little more,
I sit down and sigh,
Wishing you'd walk through my door.
I sit here as I wait,
Watching you walk passed,
Accepting my fate,
Waiting every moment until the last.
I sit here alone,
Awaiting your return,
I cry and I moan,
Icy tears that burn.
You are the one that I love,
The reason why I live,
But is that enough?
I have nothing left to give.
When will I again be yours?
Free from all my pain,
Your love opening locked doors,
Spilling blood and tears like rain.
All I want is to be loved,
To walk hand in hand,
Is that to much,
Of a demand?
So tell me please,
How long will I be here?
Sitting on my knees,
Full of scorching fear.
Afraid that you'll forget,
And leave me in this place,
Afraid that you'll forget,
The sight of my face.
You left me long ago,
With tears in your eyes,
You left me here alone,
To my own demise.
You promised you'd come back,
And Your love you still proclaim,
It's action that you lack,
Yet you don't treat me the same.
You say that you are waiting,
For the moment Opportune,
Before we resume dating,
And I hope that time is soon.
So I sit here in my Home,
Looking out the window as you pass,
Waiting by the phone,
My face pressed against the glass.
You said to wait for you,
To keep my heart locked tight,
If only you knew,
How hard I have to fight.
I fight for my sanity,
I fight for my life,
Having long since lost my vanity,
I cannot pay the price.
Yet I have no choice,
My love chains me to your soul,
I have lost my voice,
Without you I am not whole.
I am forced to wait,
Every night and day,
But now it is to late,
For me to be okay.
Now I have grown old,
And still you stay away,
My heart has grown cold,
As I die a little more each day.
You fell in love with another,
As your memories pass you by,
I wanted no other,
As I fade in your mind I die.
Now you are wed,
And I remain in your past,
Now my heart is dead,
This breath is my last.
And With it I say,
I waited despite the harms,
I just wanted you to stay,
So I could be wrapped up in your arms.
Now as I slowly die,
I only think of you,
Of the times we laughed and cried,
Of when you loved me too.
As I pass the fates,
Feeling my love anew,
As I fly to heaven's gates,
Where I'll continue waiting for you.

Such a sad poem. Full of emotion and well written. So sad the tears almost fall from the page. XX

The unending longing nearly put me to tears. I can somewhat relate to it. :)

ah, the end is heart breaking. i love the flowing rhyme through out this poem. the words are gentle and the lines simply soft, but it holds a open sadness. it certainly made my heart ache. great job
