Disappointment

Waiting for the something that never came

Late into the night her tears ran true. They paved their treacherous routes down lashes, cheeks and lips too.

Late into the night she held herself tight
Late into the night she promised she was alright
Late into the night she told that small lie
Late into the night she rued he'd made her cry
Late into the night she promised no more
Late into the night she prayed for that call
Late into the night her prayers never came
Late into the night she knew it would never be the same
Late into the night she felt that something break
Late into the night she feared how much he'd take
Late into the night she chained up her heart
Late into the night she made her dreary depart
