Still Waiting

Still Waiting

By Muriel Palanca



I wish you felt my heart break

I died so many times

Even though i am alone

I still refuse to cry

I hold it in for many hours

Until the sky turns black

When the stars jewel the sky

I pray and wish that you'll come back

At night I dream like dreamers

Like fools who fall in love

A fantasy that isnt real

That maybe I'm enough

I hate when dreams end so soon

And reality takes it place

The fact that I want things to change

But the world has stayed the same

So each day I go on living

Inside my empty shell

Outside I smile and pretend

I'm fine but inside I feel like hell

I know that you can hear me

But I still drift away

Nothing else except "I love you"

Is all i have to say

So I'll let you go because you love her

I've tried to stop the hating

I wish you'd see how much I hurt

You've moved on

But I'm still waiting  

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is one of my favorite poems even though it is not one of my best. I actually have thiis memorized by heart(along with some of my other poems). This poem is honest and simple. I wrote this in elementary school for a guy. I kind of want to rewrite this poem and reuse the title for something else. I think i can make it better.
