The wait of waiting
I wake, I move, I breathe, I sigh,
Another day passes by.
No fire, no spark, no grand pursuit,
Just endless hours, cold and mute.
The world goes on, but I stand still,
No passion left, no dream to fill.
Each step I take, a hollow sound,
A life unfelt, not lost, not found.
The sky is grey, the nights are long,
I search for where I might belong.
But love is distant, hope is thin,
And nothing breaks the void within.
I wait for more, for something real,
For any glimpse of joy to feel.
But time slips by, a quiet thief,
And leaves behind a more profound grief
Yet as I fade, I start to see
The life unlived is part of me.
Perhaps it’s not that love won’t come,
But I’ve built my walls too strong.
Maybe it’s me who shut the door,
Too scared to chase, to ask for more.
And in this silence, I now know
It’s fear, not fate, that keeps me low.
