Waiting For You

Descending into the catacombs of times past I wander through cobwebbed halls hearing echos of you searching in vain everywhere empty moths and dust. As I wait alone in silence I dare to open volumes of memories shared colors spill that drip with feelings and timeless moments tumble to the floor. My mind floods over with thoughts of you lest I forget those days and my dreams turn to grey. I feel so old my bones ache I am weary of waiting as I die within longing for the day for you to you return… …my saving grace. Written on 1/22/2016

Loneliness brings out some of the best poetry...we can all relate to it at one time or another. This is beautifully written and deep, Laura. Congrats to you...hugs, Rhonda

we can always wait....but that may not be our fate....false Love easily becomes hate....which is the most detrimental trait....but one with which all can relate....because it's a risk of the heart, a never-ending debate....very nicely done laura....;)
