hhow Many Times Did i Try??

Wishes 
Hot air of the mouth
Desires
Baseless notions riddled with doubt

I wait for you
I watch for you
Brave in life, coward in love
Send me a sign
Beacon of life from Above

And so is Below
Where feelings fester and grow
Beneath the surface of something intangible
Beneath the truth is forbidden fruit
Beneath my smile is longing for you
Beneath my joy are desires untold
Beneath my skulls fantasies unfold

How I long
How I wait
Another helping on my dinner plate
The indulgence, the greedy
This want, lust consumes me

Or is it love?
I ask of nothing
I expect even less
I sit in silent stress

Your life flows by
No but I'm waiting, watching
Hand in hand with time

As a patient soul, one could argue it is fate
One could argue I deserve another helping on my dinner plate
Or one could not
One could decide it is my time to wait and rot
One could accuse me of the greatest sin of all
Expecting the love of another without showing mine 
I stall.
