The Wait

I waited for death,


tired and sore, of all


the weight that I bore.


Over the years,


I longed for it more.



I waited for death,


Painted me grey, built some


Thorns so none would stay.


What's the point,


When I'd die anyway?



I waited for death,


Then death came, but I


Wasn't happy to reach this aim.


Drenched in pain,


I longed for life, all the same.
