WAIT!

Darkness prevailed
as tear after tear
fell from my eyes.

Every tear
was a remembrance
of the time I had enjoyed so much.

Now there was nothing for it
but to wait,
wait for the dawn to erupt,
wait for the happiness to come,
wait for the hope to go.

I'll wait with none by my side,
slowly and gradually
the pain will recede
and with it will come another wait.

wait for love,
wait for life
and finally, wait for death!
