She's not convinced
your love is for real
taking yet another walk,
she's still searching.

screaming she falls
her simple request
seemingly unheard yet again
where did you go?
can't you hear her?

mere words
this cannot fix
not this time, not this.
such brokeness heals not itself.

it waits.

it waits for someone greater
someone who knows the beginning
and the end alike.
patience seems the inflictor now
killing her slowly.

she waits.

how long will she wait
until all is well?
how deep will it cut
how far will this go?

on her behalf i fall
to my knees i'm down
crying for tearless eyes
in pain for a numb heart

please, let her wait no longer.
make her whole again.
restore the light, the joy
innocence to her eyes.
can't this be over?

I wait.
