I Waited

————

Because I waited I saw the rain

and wept beside my lover‘s pain.

Fading slowly, it washed away.

Is this the end we fear each day?

Skies of black, they mock my heart

laughing while I’m torn apart.

Shadows from the past I see,

his gentle hand caressing me.

Holding fast and staying strong

now it’s all so very wrong.

Gone is life the way it was.

Now I know the simple cause.

Because I waited I felt the rain

that wept for me and my lover‘s pain.

I can‘t recall the exact circumstances surrounding this piece but I do recall this year as quite painful and I spent lots of time listening to music that spoke to me. I think some song might have been my muse.
