Time will tic eternally slow
When you expect someone to visit
The wait for dinner can be forever
When you haven’t eaten all day
In school the last class of the day
Is always longer than the rest
We struggle to stay calm
When we wait to surprise someone
And that last day before vacation
Never seems to end
We must learn patience
But only time will tell
Because a watched pot never boils
Written for Fandango’s February Expressions (FFE) #8
Your eyes tell a story
No words could explain
The pain
The heartache
The loss
The emptiness
All come forward
Without a word spoken
Your expression speaks volumes
And I could never begin
To ease your discomfort
With mere words of love and hope
All I can offer you
Is a shoulder to cry on
Two arms to hold you
And patience as you heal
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – expression
Patience –
Waiting for you
To be true
Leaving me blue
Hope –
Wishing for more
With your hand on the door
Me crying on the floor
Pain –
I continue to cry
Hurting to say goodbye
Aware you wouldn’t even try
Awakening –
Beginning to see it was best
Your love was in jest
My life regained zest
Love –
I began to look to me
For a feeling that was free
And filled me with glee
