Cast down,
Cast down and face shoved in the mud.
Cast down and knees down to the ground.
All that is left is emptiness,
A vacuum where echoes are heard.
Loneliness becomes solitude,
And self pity a companion.
Tears flow effortlessly and with each passing day it gets tougher.
Hope slowly fades.
Be weak or be strong.
While I wait, am broken.
While I wait, am clueless.
While I wait, there are many unanswered questions.
While I wait, all sanity is lost.
Logical reasoning is pointless.
When strength fail,
And dreams die,
When time flies,
And night falls,
When lights fade,
And darkness remains,
While I wait for the sun to shine again,
While I wait for the grass to be green again,
While I wait for the rain to fall again,
While I wait for the stars to glow again,
While I wait, I wait on you.
While I wait, I trust in you.
While I wait, I depend on you,
That you will see me through as I wait.
