He knew he would,
Just like before.
What was he waiting for?
The freedom and
The peace in store.
What was he waiting for?
The fear, the doubt.
Escape is near!
What was he waiting for?
Just there! A glimpse,
Beyond this world.
What was he waiting for?
Another! There!
Again, it came.
What was he waiting for?
The time is now!
The time is now!
What was he waiting for?
And there it went,
Without a sound.
What had he waited for?
He missed his chance.
He knew he would.
Like every time before.
