How long are you gonna wait to say it, <br />After I hit the town? <br />How long are you gonna wait to show it, <br />When all I have left, is a frown? <br /> <br />Go ahead, sing all you want; <br />It's the only joy left, <br />Of this union; <br />I will not bend, <br />I will not beg, <br />I will not rant, <br />Forging a path to reconciliation. <br /> <br />But let the embers burn, <br />Below the smoldering heat; <br />Then, what you feel, I shall not spurn, <br />To win the heart That I seek.<br /><br />Buxton Shippy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-long-64/
