Waiting

I wait today, I waited yesterday
Is it worth, A wasted breath
When no one cares
And nobody comes

Silent screams, Silent falls
Onto this voice, No one notices
No one hears me still
And nobody says a thing

Here I am, All that is me
Made up, Of such things
Only I see, Only I feel
And nobody wants to know

I wait now, I waited then
Is it pointless, To except much more
When I'm all alone
When nobody is there to comfort

Hopelessness has me
In it's arms, Always, Forever
I'm to tired to care
So why should I even bother anymore

Oh, I can feel the frustration! Serious theme this. Hope and despair seem to constantly battle in the human existence. Hopefully, hope wins this time! Very nice verse Mandy!
