Hopeful

Gazing at the clock Hoping it would tick faster Looking at the door Hoping it would open Listening for your footsteps No sound is heard The clock has not stopped The door has not opened Your footsteps has gone quiet, So has your voice… 23/09/2010

Really captures the torment of waiting for that call, that e-mail or letter, that knock at the door. When it comes you feel uplifted and when it doesn't you feel worthless. I hope I haven't missed the mark with this one. Kind regards, Ian
