Wilting away

Wilting away

Eyes closed,
Body strewn across the bed, 
Covers every where but on,
As I whine, images of you float through my head. 

Finally I awake,
But only to the same dreary nightmare,
Your still not here with me,
But should I care?

Years of waiting,
Months of wanting,
Weeks of loneliness,
Days of hunting. 

Hours of needing,
Minutes have passed,
I count the seconds, 
Oh, how slow I am compared to life, so fast. 

I call myself a flower,
Just wilting away,
Slowly, so slowly,
Meant to disappear someday.
