not just obsessed Poet Rhyme

Waiting on your word

All the lives I built and then tore down
I always thought you’d be around 
to see me win, to lose, to fail 
but then came storms of the harshest hail
that segregated your touch from mine 
and now I pace, just wasting time 
thinking of the hands I knew 
thinking of how I’d feel brand new
every time I had reached you 

Have you forgotten the promise you made?
Or do you think of me as your prettiest mistake?
You placed your bets, under influence of lust
then woke up one day, coughed from the dust 

Have you had time to reassess? 
Is this really for the best? 
If you exist, but only in my chest 

So, send me a letter
a few words is fine 
spell out for me why you can’t be mine 
don’t keep me guessing
don’t have me fretting 
you’re not yet a memory
not worth forgetting
