Four Minutes

Folder: 
closet boxes 2002

Look up at the classes clock

and wonder where you are

10:55 and i'm so bored

you seem so very far.

10:56 the school bell rings

i'm walking down the stairs

haphazard, almost falling

as I am wishing you were there.

10:57 sitting with my friends

wishing that this day would end

you know that I would not be her

and straight to you my heart would send.

10:58 my friends all ask

whats going on with me and you

I freeze, can't give an answer

that would satisfy the truth.

10:59 just let me be

I don't want to be here

I want to be in any place

where I can feel that you are near.

These short four minutes feel like years

but there's nothing I can do

all I want is to see your face

see the addiction that is you.

I know this feeling
I live here in this
state of constant agony
and expectation...
4 mins is an eternity
when you are waiting
for your love.
Great Poem - Great Write.
