You wait for it
Forever and forever
But you haven't got that long.
You wouldn't ask
For pride and hope together
Wouldn't admit you're wrong.
But if you did
And scribble down a letter
To convince yourself you're strong.
You'd tell him straight
And hope that it gets better
Return as you belong.

You'd shed no tears
Those tears like  falling  ash
That come with life's disaster.
You'd feel no fear
Like that of lightning's flash
That makes your grief your master.
And you'd make no deals
With mind and life that clash
To find your life end faster.

But you won't
So you'll wait a while
Wait until you burst.
For him to confess
For him to say and smile
That he was  the wrong one first
So there you'll sit
With your fingers on the dial
When your pain's the worst.

Depressed, alone
Is all that's left of you
The perfect analogy
You never got
That one  word or two
To make his  last apology.
And so with strength
You soon go through
A quick lobotomy.
