Waiting for you
Dec. 1st, 2007 11:58 pmLong after you were gone, I still waited for you.
I know where you had gone, when you were to return,
but I still waited for you. I do not know why.
The silence roared its deafening cry
(to use an overused cliché) and the
wall remained faceless as though to laugh
its illusion of life into our own.
Invisible voices stretched their fingers beyond
the river, reaching for news of you
like a messenger without a horse, mocking
the distance.
The world does not stop for this. Why do I
stop for you?
