Least You Find Me

I sit awaiting him
but thy skin withers 
thy soul shivers 
It has to endure 
the cold cruel world
waiting for him

falling for all the wrong 
men but just mere 
past times 
mere preperations
for the one who will save me
yet each time I let another touch
I realize he wasn't the one

he wasn't you dear soul mate
and therefore my heart has to endure
and as I wait my hope gets sliced and diced
I pray each day as my skin begins to wither
that when you find me 

you won't gallop right on by 
because all you'll see is 
a bitter old woman 
who bleed all her beauty
waiting for the one
