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?
