Waiting For You

Gloomy clouds climbs up 
Off the motionless mountains 
I sit alone in this desolate field
Waiting for you to return 
From sunrise to sunset I've waited 
You still haven't returned 

Days turn into weeks 
Weeks into months 
Months into years
Thunder roars at time 
Lighting struck me 
You haven't visited me

Until one day you returned
You ask the villagers for me
They tell you where I'm at
You begin to weep
You walk down the trail....
Into the cemetery 
Where you find me...
