I waited, I watched, I wished,
As the world around me derided
I don't know why or how I did it,
But I left my thoughts undecided.
Fluttering in my chest was a sliver of hope,
That you'll show up one way or another
But once the clock struck ten I wasn't sure,
Why I had even bothered.
The empty seat in front of me,
Drew eyes all around
It stole the show and my pride,
In self pity I wished to drown.
You told me that you wanted me,
You promised me a date
But when the clock chimed eleven,
I stopped believing you were late.
I could feel the empathy radiating,
From all corners of the room
I pitied myself for ever believing,
Love for me could bloom.
I waited, I watched, I wished,
But the pain was too much to handle
Wallowing in my misery,
I blew out my birthday candles.
~Via
I'll cry until the candles burn down this place.
I'll cry until my pity party's in flames.
