time passes slowly

through impatient eyes

with quivering lips

refusing to smile.

holding and waiting

rooted deep in her beliefs

over and over

like a story's motifs,,

standing still

but seldom a complaint

though her heart grows weary

and her eyes look drained

-two hearts beat

but all by themselves

see the happiness stolen

off empty shelves.

he's taking but always

forgetting to give,

she's waiting but always

forgetting to live.
