It’s true what they say, dear one
Silence is deafening
I’m calling out to you
But my voice doesn’t reach your ears
Work, school, work
Such is your routine, day in and day out
But where am I in this rigid schedule?
Where do I stand, I, the one you love so much
I’ve been tucked away
Hidden behind a cloak of work
I sit here in silence, keeping my vigil
But I can’t wait much longer
You are truly amazing, the best thing to happen to me
But you’re falling away, and your hands are greased
I can’t hold on to you
We’re losing each other
I’m terrified to say goodbye
We’ve been through so much
I’ve given you all of my being
You know every part of me
But in such a relationship
I know this abscess can’t last
You must come back to me
Maybe then we can fix this
I’m not going to wait forever
But I’ll stick around a little longer
I’ll wait for you to come back to me, only for a little while
I’ll continue with my vigil
