Waiting

by Evelyn J. Driscoll





I was tired of waiting for him, knowing I wouldn�t win,

So I ended it.

I am sorry for what I had to decide.

My decision was infinite... nothing will change my mind.

Not until later when my old feelings are left behind.

Rain falls on my face

But he asked the question in the first place,

I shouldn�t have to make these choices

I�ve used all of my voices

Nothing has worked,

And I still hurt.

People don�t understand the pain I go through

Just to try to talk to you,

Nothing that I say will ever go away

My own words haunting me even today

Walking through the empty halls

Looking at the blank faces on the walls

Thinking up ways to get out

Ways that I should shout to the world,

My breath grows deeper my chest feels tight,

I just pray to God everything�s all right,

I�ve been through this battle long enough

People always say I am tough

I feel intoxicated,

I am hated,

Running through this world I know so well

Being this person I don�t know from hell,

I wonder when I will get out

Every time I see a light I shout

I wonder if they�re stuck here too

Or if it was their fault� or could it be you?

Well whoever it was, I don�t care

I just wanted to get out of there

So I took it into my own hand

To get out of that land,

So I did it I took the last choice

I used my heart, and not my voice,

I thought of what life would be

A life without him or me,

I am dead now, and this world I still walk

I will always stalk

The life I had

Nothing will be as good, too bad I was just too sad.
