Waiting For You

How long to wait? How long to stay? Countless buds blossomed and withered away Countless leaves fallen- emerald to auburn dry Trees burgeoned high, kissed the sky Spring, summer,autumn, winter and spring again I count- day's bright and dark night again The beat had halted long ago Skin turned pale Eyes dried up No breath in my chest But what to do of my damn soul? Thought it would fade away Bit by bit- a little everyday Thick rust embraced the metal gate that separated living from sleeping dead Plastered bricks , shining paint Everything crumbled and fell And i waited to die again But here i'm sitting on my grave Longing for your sweet voice; your face Those bright eyes that professed love And the warm smile that cheered me up I never cared for flowers or candles Don't come near ; don't shed a tear Just slow down your pace Whenever you walk in front of those gates
