The Weight of the Wait

I waited for you today With a heart full of anticipation With the inclination of acceptance Of your promising declaration Instead you made me wait Creating an anxious state Thus sealing my fate Just another throwaway heart Served on an empty plate Triggering the pains of rejection Seems to be my favorite infection Sporting a generous collection Of scars and wounds Worn as my badges of doom Scattered about In this barren room Yet here i wait alone again Living with false hopes now and then Oh to even claim to have one close friend Then maybe this old heart will mend. And this search for love Will come to a joyous end Still i wait.
