Lover that never came

 

A girl- 

Sitting calmly and waiting for death

To knock and shout but as a tone-deaf

Marriage is all she seeks,

Same words repeatedly - all she speaks

 

Thriven by heavy waters

Wondering why she’s merely reencountering the same sea

Skipping and tripping to a broken beat

Sprinkling and singing of key

 

And whether she’s on time, she’ll never know

Not here where a second is only a second small, easily forgotten

The memory of an ignored call sided

With the everlasting believe that they may someday be yours

 

So, linger and hope

Knock on the door of a withdrawing great dream

Create an idea and dance to its simple scheme

 

Soon you’ll be ash and bone

Buried surely with your name

And known for expecting the lover that never came
