I know you're busy and I should be patient,
but your absence always leaves me wanting more,
and to show you in how many ways you mean to me.
I leave you those messages to know,
how much I love you,
but sometimes I wonder if it's too much.
Do I talk a lot,
am I already pushing you away,
is there too many things I'm already saying,
do you really appreciate me,
am I really worth your time,
are you really accepting of me,
and everything I do?
These questions just come rushing in when you vanish,
and sometimes it's hard to manage,
myself left alone,
because you've always been my core,
and without you everything starts to feel cold,
so I feel the need to light that fire again,
by flooding you with my feelings,
and hoping you appreciate your significance to me,
but I don't want to pour so much onto you that you drown,
under the weight of my praise for you.
So I'm going to continue the only way I understand,
and that's present you with my deepest of sentiments,
without it seeming like an emotional brandish.
Our connection runs hard and deep,
and the thing I want most is to make it blossom,
so I'll try my best to not oversaturate,
the soil that we're walking on,
but sometimes that's difficult,
as longing makes the heart grow in it's devotion.

She waited for her knight
Long time has passed
Even the light of lamp diminished
Her hope is lost.

She is waiting to shut her eyes
But a glimpse of love had kept her awake
World has disowned her
And her voice is fading.

She scream in her dreams
Sound of coming feet wakes her
Her world is shattered
And her heart has lost its blood.

Her knight went for a quest
Defending her country’s honour
She now rest peacefully with her son
For her knight came on shield.

Would you Only
Stop,
Pause,
Wait,
Till I can reach out,
If you can't
Turn back to me?

I know
Love,
All the effort
Won't be mine.

Don't ask me if he did.

Days pass muddily, time is stuck.
Five more to go with the right luck.
At time and a half, hours tick;
The stroke of five does not come quick

Rush hour feels more like rush year;
Finally, your exit I near.
I dance up steps to the right floor,
A sweaty palmed knock on your door

The moment long overdue,
Is the heat before I kiss you.
The second between our lips meet,
That's the ****** I crave all week.
Craving that moment always, my sweetie <3

Waiting

What kind of sick twisted writ of passage is this we,
sit
In a room with a man who's breaths are numbered we,
hold ours
every time he draws one in sitting stagnant stalling searching for sentences to say to your supporters who sit in solidarity as your dad
slowly
dies.
Of course this is no surprise
we've,
waited
three long years of suffering and pain
we've
known
It was coming but we've tried to just ignore it
now we sit and ponder our lives just his barely audible snore,
is
making mourning music as we miss the man who meant the most to most of,
us.
Were just sitting in this room and hoping praying selfishly that maybe when he moves it wont be up he wont be gone but rather he will stand and,
say
whats for breakfast folks
I'm hungry anyway.

At 6:15 on Saturday he made his final choice
he said goodbye inaudibly he had not left a voice.
We cried and hugged and sobbed, though his soul it did,
rejoice.

He's finally gone home again
our morbid wait is at an end.
On Saturday the 29th of September we lost my father in law to cancer. Early Friday morning we sat in his room knowing it was coming soon.

You came
In my life
I was glad and
Welcomed you
With all I am
I loved each day
Spent with you

Then you left
With a promise
To be back
So I waited
No matter how long

You came back
So I welcomed you
Again
With little fears
That you'll soon leave
And you really did
With the same promise
I hesistated
But still waited

Until you came back
Once more
I just accepted
With little hopes
That you'll stay

You may have thought
That it can be
Just a cycle
You come and go
Whenever you want
I wait and wait
And wait
Just like that

You may have not seen
How this turned to
Ever decreasing circles
One more turn or two
This cycle of yours
Will disappear

You'll go
(And don't come back)
And I'll be free
(Finally)
Ever decreasing circles - a phrase I learned a week ago.
Thanks again Chris Russon for the idea :)
