The Wait

The Wait 

Call it crumbling 

Call it lust 

Our lives are tumbling
Are we not dust?

Is it time for me

To stop having fun?

Do my friends really care?

Are the good days done?

When the affection fades,

Am I alone?

Did I dance the masquerade,

So my feelings never shown?

A cross on a chain,
And church once a week,

To mask our pain,

Though it's not God we seek.

Give me an answer!

Where is my life?

Being eaten by cancer.

Chipped away by a knife.

Why the temptation?

Am I a human mistake?

You promised salvation,

Then why do I feel so fake?

You've given me passion,

But why not success?

I'm tired of waiting.

I'm done with this mess.

Stop.

Look around.
Turn away from the mirror.

See.

Hear the sound,

Of the hope that's coming nearer.

I never left you.

I never forgot.

My love for you is deeper

Then you have ever sought.

You can't have dark

Without the light.

You can't have ugly

Without the right.

The night is fading,

The dark wont last.

There's beauty in the waiting.
I'm here.  Hold on fast.
