Waiting

Soul decaying, heart breaking, knees shaking, And still nothing I can do to make your presence fade, You’re nowhere in sight yet you still make yourself known, Now I know the feeling of getting your heart thrown, Into a dark lifeless pit of tragedy and despair, Knowing your arms wrapped around the waist of another, Tares my soul in two, I’m drowning in my own tears, And grasping nothing but blood, I hate seeing my heart cut up and dropped in front of me, I sit on the floor with my head down, Rib cage open and arms drenched in red remorse, And you, Standing above me with a blank stare and what was my heart, I’m never waking, And you’re gone and taking, What was my heart grasped in your hand and a plane ticket in the other, Smiling at him starry eyed, And I’m still waiting to get that heart back, Hoping it’s from you, But now I’m hoping it can be from another, I can’t wait to learn how to finally love you.
