Wait and See

By Laura August 10, 2015 The city sleeps in a cloudless fog below Leaving for the first time and perhaps the last Penniless and hopeless, the city seems to know These days of living desperately; the glory in the past The mountains follow them as they choke on emptiness Ironic transparency and the ugliness of sightless greed Bittersweet to leave and see a past without a tryst No love was ever shared down there; a place where angels bleed The murky future lays somewhere below the yellow smog Asking if I'm meant to be polluted on my own I played the game, I danced along like everyone without a song Three days until my destiny will tell me where I'll call my home My heart is filled with smog, just like the city beneath my feet One day I hope they say "hey Laura Dee, wherever you are is sweet to me" And you will clean the ocean air and free the clouds from mountain tops I've said it before and recently so frequently; "I'm out of words, let's wait and see"
