Waiting for the lost

Sitting in the same chair,

Breathing the same air,

I have been waiting for you.

The phone just beside me,

The mail box closer than ever,

I wait for a word from you.

Everyday I call you,

Just to listen to the same words.

The detached, monotonous tone,

Is as close as I can get to you.

The change in your voice,

Harshly reminds me,

You have changed too.

You are no longer

the girl who wanted a kiss

before leaving for school.

No longer the girl

who had to be held

when hope seemed to be lost.

But I still wait for her,

Here in that same chair,

The phone just beside me,

The mail box closer than ever.

I wait for her,

My daughter, my only love,

In life and in death.
