Wait

So, it’s been a while since I shared any of my poetry with you all. This one, ‘Wait’ was written when I was 13 years old. It was published by Foyle Young Poets in Looking For Lyrics – The Song In My Heart and so isn’t my usual type of thing. Let me know in the comments below what you think! Feel free to share too 🙂 

Sometimes at night I stay awake

To see if you will call.

But now for weeks, I haven’t slept,

No word from you at all.

I pass the place where we first met

You still don’t have a clue

Even though there is no word

I live and breathe for you.

Though the silence haunts me

I will wait and see

If in fact you truly love her

Or if you’ll fall for me.

We’ll wait for days to see

If this could be our fate

But I guess I’ll have to wait.

There can be times when I am mad

With your naivety

You sit and think of you and her

And I of you and me.

But through our laughs and crazy jokes

Along with all we do

It’s incredible you can’t see

I really do love you.

Though the silence haunts me

I will wait and see

If in fact you truly love her

Or if you’ll fall for me.

We’ll wait for days to see

If this could be our fate

But I guess I’ll have to wait.
