Waiting For You

Like acid falling on me, my skin does burn As I wait everyday for you to return The minutes seem like years but I’ll never run I’ll wait for you till I become ashes in an urn I get dressed everyday in my Sunday’s best Thinking today I’ll see you and then rest These tired eyes of mine and these bones fragile But you don’t grace me with your presence, even for a while I cut myself to pieces and gifted them all to you I sacrificed all at the altar of love, you know it’s true I tried to be sensitive and always be there for you But in that you saw possessiveness and my obsession for you Now where do I go? Should I turn my back on you? You think that I cling, when I show my love for you How can I be in love and not express it in all its hues Should I just stand around like a dead statue? I seem insignificant to you, from your perch proud I am just another person, a face in the crowd Trying hard to get your attention, competing with those around you Destined to die loveless, destined to fall through But I am a fool and I will wait, till sets my life’s sun My eyes just a dead shadow of what once did burn I’ll wait till my soul goes back to where its journey had begun I’ll wait for you till I become ashes in an urn
