The Downward Spiral and Upward Rise

Waiting.

If at once, I must remember,

T'was a cold night in December,

I watched the faint glow of ember,

Sitting, aching, waiting.

After what was a few hours' past,

My patience did no longer last,

My happiness ran out quite fast

Because you kept me waiting.

For months I kept my head down low,

As you would come and you would go

Out of my life, because you know

I would be there, waiting.

A couple years have passed since then,

And on my face, I wear a grin,

I feel as if I'm in heaven,

I am no longer waiting.
