Waiting For You (NitikaDreamer)

Waiting For You

How long to wait?

How long to stay?

Countless buds blossomed and withered away,

Countless leaves fallen,emerald to auburn dry

Trees burgeoned high,kissed skies

Spring,Autum,Winter and Spring again

I count day's bright and dark night again

The beat had halted long ago

And skin turned pale

Eyes dried up

No breath into my chest

But what to do of my damn soul !

Thought,it would fade away

Bit by bit,a little everyday

Thick rust embraced the metal gates

That separated living from sleeping dead

Plastered bricks, shining paint

Everything crumbled and fell

And I waited to die again!

But here I am sitting on my grave

Longing for your sweet voice,your face

Those bright eyes that professed love

And the warm smile that cheered me up

I never cared for flowers or candles

Don't come near

Don't shed a tear

Just slow down your pace

Whenever you walk,

In front of those gates

How long to wait?

My love, why this delay?
