Left Waiting

She stood there
waiting for him 
once again, 

He never came
once again, 
she returned, 
disappointed 
once again, 
the fool, 
that believed his lies…

Been there/done that, Wilma. You always seem to strike a personal chord with your poems and it's really sad to be in this position. Wishing you the best always. Love, Carolyn
