Once Again... Poem by Amanda Saveley

I was always ever-so-patient with you
Everything that I said, every time it was true
Every time you leave me baited
Hanging on, but still I waited

Once again...you've left your mark
Once again...I'm left in the dark
Once again...I'm left in the dust
Once again...it's me you don't trust

On your behalf, I shed enough tears
And all for you, I shed all my fears
It matters not how long it'll take
For you, I'll wait, I will not break

Once again...I'm all in a bind
Once again...you leave me behind
Once again...I can't find my way
Once again...you're walking away

And someday, things just might get harder
And someday, I just might get smarter
But don't think I'll ever stray
Right by your side is where I'll stay

But, once again...on baited breath
Oh, once again...I wait til death
Yes, once again...nothing has changed
Ah, once again...I feel estranged
Oh, once again...I will be near
Yes, once again...I'm waiting here
But once again...there's a despute
And once again...you remain mute

I was always ever-so-patient with you
Everything that I said, every time it was true
Perhaps it's karma, perhaps it's fate
But how long will I be expected to wait?
