DISAPPOINTMENT

Expectancy peaks

as the agreed hour

approaches and ticks over.

I wait....wait....wait,

trying not to look

at my timepiece

every thirty seconds.

Each elastic minute

causes increased anxiety,

eyes searching horizons

for your familiar figure.

Slowly minutes crawl painfully

toward final acceptance

as you fail

to keep another appointment,

forcing me reluctantly

to realise that

you have disappointed me

yet again, yet again.
