Waiting
Wanting
And waiting some more.
Last long night and late this morning
You took an old silver
Spoon to stir up my innocent mind with
Your candy-like talk.
Your nauseously frightening distance.
Your virtually unrecognizable smile.
Tonight I sink still in my spot on my evening bed
To wait for your return.
For the the message you've not yet answered.
The night before last long night
My mind played for me a dream.
And in that dream
A letter was never sent.
It was an oversized cardboard letter
Addressed to somebody else but never sent.
Then in the dream
You did show me your friendliness
As you smiled truthfully to tell me you did not love her.
I believed you.
I should have.
I still do.
Even with that
Because of the long last night and this late morning
I'm still here
Wanting
Waiting
And wanting some more.
