As I Wait
i cling to this doubt
and hide the truth
that only you can find
toss them to the shadows
of a crowded room
until you've gone
disguise the questions
that burden my very bones
and leave me tired of being alive
when your heartbeat isn't there
to remind me of why i even bother
to breathe.
the insinuations of something
that i wont allow myself
to admit or accept
graze the palm of my hand
and yet
i wont give in
and you're gone.
i listen only to the cowardice
that keeps telling me
its nothing but a lie
so i'll shroud my eyes
and the words that lie within them
as i bury my face
in the clouds that remind me
of that night
we lay on a bed of sand
beneath the stars
and i wait
to find the courage
to accept what i knew
all along.
