Secretly Waiting
Sitting in a dark afternoon with several thoughts passing through my mind, muse tapped me gently on the shoulder and suggested that I start to write. This is what flowed from my fingers...
Secretly Waiting - 18 Nov 10
Secretly waiting
Pretending that I don't really care
But when you aren't here
Sadness fills my thoughts
And my eyes blur
Vision fades
Cracked images
Show themselves
To me
Wondering
Whether you will ever come back
To fill the space
You created when
You left
My eyes still see you
Standing with me
Walking with me
Being with me
Now I feel
Eternity is closing around me
Leaving me stranded
Beached
Like driftwood
On the shore
Alone
Always
Alone
Secretly waiting
Again
Sad songs are often the most fulfilling despite the content - I will leave you to comment, if you choose.

This is lovely. I especially liked a couple of places:-
ReplyDeleteSecretly waiting
Pretending that I don't really care
But when you aren't here
it's the pretended nonchalance that strikes a chord with me here - 'I'm SO over him/her'but when 'you aren't here' ..... of course we re-run the lovely moments, the might have beens too, if we are not careful
then there was this bit:-
wondering
Whether you will ever come back
To fill the space
You created when
You left
perhaps knowing the likelihood is not, bit keeping the candle in the window anyway
Thanks, very thought provoking and somehow calming and reassuring as well
Thank you Jan ♥

Leaving me stranded
Beached
Like driftwood
On the shore
Alone
Always
Alone
