You closed the door
But I kept knocking
You paid no heed
To my constant calling

You went away
And left me behind
But I didn't go on my own way
I waited for you night and day

You turned off the lights
And left me in the dark
I stayed and wandered around the room
Trusting you'd turn the lights back on

All these you did to me
Yet I never grew tired
Of the all the despair you brought to me
Through all your acts and unspoken words

The truth is I pray for the day
That I will stop knocking and walk away
That I will turn around and go the other way
That I will turn the lights back on myself

I truly feel this way
But for now, I can take some more
Because for me, all that you are
Is someone worth waiting and suffering for
