THE WAIT
You left me waiting in the rain,
It poured down hard that night,
The brave smile couldn't mask the pain,
As I watched you walk out of sight.
-
You left me standing in the room,
A cold shiver ran down my spine,
The house suddenly seemed gloom,
I can't pretend to be fine.
-
You left me crying tears of joy,
Your large hand soothing back my hair,
The doctor said it was a boy,
The news traveled by air.
-
You left me staring at the cop,
My fingers gripping the door,
His words made my heart flop,
I felt like I couldn't breathe anymore.
-
You left me dead at your grave,
"A hero to our nation" it read,
I choke out a whimper of your name,
Every night before bed.
-
I'll leave you waiting on me,
To meet at the place you are now,
Then we can be free,
To be together forever somehow.
