Waiting

Skipping to the beat of my heart Trying to understand what happened to us Standing in the mirror of discontent Looking for a place to retreat A hide away I can get lost in Watching you drift away from me Reaching for you but you recoil from me Casting our love into the sea Sleeping in the cradle of what used to be Piecing pieces that were once all we dreamed of Keeping vigil in the middle of nowhere Praying that the feeling of unrequited love will leave me The memory of you is like sugar The feeling you gave me Has turned sour For now we dwell in shadow Awaiting the witching hour.
