The Wait
Last night I feel asleep in your embrace.
I dreamt of waiting and I can swear that I’ve never been so terrified before.
My life was about to turn around on its own, only that I had no idea when. There was SOMETHING, though. I could feel it. SOMETHING was about to happen and it would change everything forever.
Only that it didn’t.
I just stood there and the hours were passing by.
One
By
One
By
One
By
One.
I had a nightmare about waiting only to realize I could never wake up. With every second that goes away I become dust. With every minute that passes by I turn my face to my deepest fears and greet them cheerfully into my life. They settle in, make themselves comfortable and fill me up with waiting.
Waiting for them to go away. For them to disappear or die or scream or move.
But they just sit and smile back at me.
Too bad your arms couldn’t protect me from my own mind.
