The Message That Never Came

She waited.... heart beat expectancy to heightened degree it would come It MUST come every day waiting for the message "There must be a mistake! How could he just vanish disappear into thin air and not care No, there must be some explanation!" Perhaps he was sick perhaps he was dying and he didn't want her to know wanted to spare her the pain all sorts of crazy thoughts keep her awake at night as she waited and waited for that message The months passed the pain grew and didn't subside it didn't grow dull nor did it recede it did bleed... though her eyes it tore down her cheeks it bore her disbelief it could not be where was the message??? asking for...forgiveness begging for....love a second chance revival of romance She waited for that message waited because her faith in him refused to be shattered though battered by the calendar mockery day and month debauchery Yet...each new morning brought hope steeped in the belief of his chivalry and integrity for the one whom she knew could not be the one untrue cruel and heartless enough to have to taken her for a fool she grew heart old and soul weary dead on her feet dreary as she waited for a message a message that never came Eileen Manassian
