staring out the window,
watching for you.
hours pass,
still waiting…
always waiting in others shadows,
out of sight, left behind.
second best,
second choice.
knife in the back,
gilded lies in the ears.
these signs ignored by hope,
maybe someday…
years pass,
smiles weaken.
embraces soften,
waiting still…
tears have dried,
wounds have scarred.
pain accustomed.
soul burdened.
still waiting…
still hoping…
torture masked,
to safeguard your happiness.
waiting for someday…
someday love matched…
someday loyalty returned…
