Waiting Game

to those who loved hard and waited long enough.

The long wait is over

not for it has arrived

but for I don't want to anymore.

Waiting is hard,

but it was worth the pain they said.

I've accepted the hard part,

it even broke me,

but somehow I got back up.

If you love someone, fight for him they said.

For the pain will be healed,

once he embraced your sadness.

I've lost a thousand times

but one victory was enough to keep me going.

Crying is part of loving they said.

I wept so much that it burns my skin.

Why are tears warm?

I guess because it's from your soul.

Will it help if I did my part all too well?

I say it is better sure than sorry.

I guess I've done everything they said.

The feeling of waiting was so usual 

that i considered it as a routine.

But what if I'm waiting long enough

that I cannot see my reason anymore?

and with the same spot the goal is also invisible.

Which before, I thought was just too far

but it was actually a dead end.

And disregarding my worries, I proceed.

Right in front of me was a mirror

which I thought was you waiting for me

but it's just me, all alone

on a path that don't lead anywhere.

And there you were behind the mirror

with no idea why I'm even crying.

I can break the mirror

but I chose not to,

cause I don't want to.

I know you can't handle the shards

that might pierce you

and I can't probably take it too

seeing you amidst the pieces,

running away from the debris.

They say love is worth the pain

but is it still, If I feel more pain than love?

Wow. I just read that, all the way through, without becoming distracted. That's saying something. Really nice poem that I know a lot of people can relate to. And I loved those ending lines as well. Great work. Keep it up!
