Obnoxious Thoughts and Ungranted Wishes

waiting

a year has already passed since the magic has started

nine months had gone when no signs of you are found;
not a glimpse, a shadow, or even a single letter from the alphabet was heard

after those miserable months of waiting, i finally saw a silhoutte of you again, a silhouette clear enough for me to catch sight of the burdens you tried so hardly to hide

i was happy to see you again, but i was in pain as you were when i saw your bruised face and the tears just waiting to be shed

from afar, i just watched you cry and fight against the shadow that was trying to swallow you back into the unknown; but i could only do nothing but to weep until no water would come out of my sockets anymore

days, weeks, months have passed and you're still striving to emerge from the darkness and as you are doing so, i also found who were trying so vainly to put you down

i found a way for you to be saved

with all the strength i could, i plunged into the wall that is separating us and hand in hand, back to back, we fought your way to the top---where you belong

but after the glory of your victory, i may not be there to see you shine brighter than before, but i will continue to find my way

not only for you
but now, to you

i must wait
