Fear paralyses me
As the tears pour down
And my heart breaks
Ever so slowly
The waiting is worst
Without answers or hints or
Even a look to go off of
If you were around I could read you
The weight on my chest
It's hard to breathe
The simplest song releases
The next wave of pain
Why can't we just
Live like in my dreams
The fairy-tales in my head
The happy couple, forever after
Me head pounds
Calls for a drink
Or a pill or a shot or
Anything to erase these thoughts
My hope waivers
But never dies
As I wait patiently and painfully
For you to remember me
I scribble lines
And pray for word
To a god I don't believe in
But what else can I do
Your intelligence
Your talent
Your beauty and love
Perfection I don't deserve
Yet that look in your eyes
On the rare occasion
When you look into mine
Is worth the wait for each stolen moment
You see I'm helpless
Hopeless at your feet
Begging for a scrap
Of your time, of your time
