What Is It I'M Waiting For

It is dark,a mist swirls
Allowing only shadows to be seen
 I know I'm waiting,I always am
          What for eludes me
Like the faceless shadows in the dark
 I'm so alone it penetrates my bones
  There I am,still waiting,for what
    My demons are the shadows
          Born of my fear
     I stand alone,incomplete
   Still waiting to fill the void
Emptiness has a feeling of it's own
  In my dreams I want to scream
   It builds within,never erupts
          It never goes away
        Lurks in the shadows
Always watching,Always waiting
          As I wait too
  For what I do not know
