The Wait.


Isn’t there anything
that you haven’t said to me?
A little something perhaps
that you have hidden in your heart
For reasons unknown to you and me!
Isnt there a soothing voice
suppressed by your real booming baritone
that contemplates saying aloud
Words that your real voice couldn’t?
Words that welled up in your eyes
as you sat by me day and night
watching my shadow grow thin by day
and thinner by night?
Words that oozed through your fingertips
when you led me on to see the setting sun
and the rising moon
but never tumbled down your lips.
Say it aloud then for the world to hear
or whisper only in my ears.
For life is not long for me
and my shadow walks on earth
only for a couple more of days
waiting for you to say…
Isn’t there something
that you haven’t said to me?

P.S sorry. i know it's dumb.

Really well written, though the name could've been better, IMO...

What the Heck do you mean by saying its dumb?! It's really good! Otherwise I would not have had it published in our bulletin.

Never degrade yourself, babe.
