Waiting...

I sit here,

waiting for you.


I wait

and

wait

and

wait.


You never show up,

yet,

I keep looking for you,

everywhere.


Everything

reminds me of you.


I wait for the day

when i stop thinking about you

or

you show up.


Neither things happen,


but still,

I wait.


Weeks go by

and weeks

turn into months,

and months,

into years.

The dark circles under my eyes

grow darker

The wrinkles on my forehead

get deeper,

like I am carved from stone,

with the cracks from age

and the weather,

breaking me down slowly.


Yet still,

I sit here,

waiting for you.


You’re a different person now,

but still,

I wait.


I wait to see your blue eyes again

I wait to hear your laugh

I wait to see your smile

I wait to see you dance

I wait to listen to music with you

I wait…

and

wait

and

wait


The doctors tell me I am sick

That I only have months to live

Still,

I wait.


They say I have days now.


Family come

to say their goodbyes to me

Friends bring me flowers

and balloons

They cry,

as they say goodbyes,

But I don’t care,

because

I am still waiting for you…


I lay in the hospital bed,

with each breath

getting harder and harder

still,

I wait.


My eyes want to close,

I want to stop the fight,

every breath hurts now,

every second living hurts.


Still,

I hold on,

just in case,

I can see you again,

before I die.


You don’t show,

like all the times before,

and I die.


Yet still,

somehow,


I’ll keep waiting…

She told me that she had been sober for 6 months before Thanksgiving with her family. Apparently she got blackout drunk. “Understandable,” I said. “My family is the reason I drink so much around the h

A few years ago, there was rattling noise coming from one of the wheels on my car. I took it into the shop, and a man handed me a bunch of bolts and nuts, and things that I had no idea what they were.

They danced together. They kissed each other. They smelled the other one. They held onto each other tightly. They fell in love. Then, they got married. They went on a honeymoon. They made a child. The
