Wait
I want to break the world
I want to watch as beauty is shattered
Before you left
You spoke of triumph and of glory
The light I cannot comprehend
Leaves with you
In vanity I wished to conquer
The beauty you exemplified
To grasp it, to take hold
Of that which I can only envy
And now I am drowning in the goodness you left me
The kindness that you guided me with
I see your face in the strangers on the street
I heard your voice in every earnest word
I keep waiting for the moment when I will metamorphose
And grow a shade closer to your gold.
