Waiting Poem by Layla Norman

Waiting



Slowing to a standstill
for our final goodbye
time won't stop forever
and it's hard not to cry

As time moves on
our last kiss is long and deep
but you must leave again
and my heart will gently weep

I slowly shut the door
feeling lost and alone
wishing my love for you
had been better shown

But my time ran out
whether you know my love or not
and walking around, cold and empty,
i already miss you a lot

I know when you go
that it's for the best
but i have this hollow feeling
where my heart's missing from my chest.

I can't figure out
why it hurts so much
when you leave again
and you're too far gone to touch.

I feel like i'm drowning
in water that's too deep
but i trust you'll save me
you'll come back and make me complete.

But it's the waiting that kills me
I hate not having you here
cuz one day you'll stay gone
and that's my biggest fear

But you never stay gone
and you always bring back my heart
and it's with me for awhile
'til time pulls us back apart.
