You’re in the other room; I left to avoid your stare <br />I gaze into your eyes, yet all I can do is touch your hair <br />I saw true joy as laughter escaped your lips, <br />I want to feel your skin run smooth under my fingertips <br />To feel your heart beating through into my chest <br />A true love as none has known <br />Where no evils do molest <br />I want to know your flavor let it linger in the air <br />Every breath I swear to savor if you would only take my dare <br />I hope someday you’ll see me as the girl that you need <br />Yet I know all my cries are just many unheard pleas <br />You speak of her so fondly I wish it were me instead <br />Though now you’ve driven me to the point I think I’d rather be dead <br />I can’t take the solitude you bring <br />I won’t let you just push me aside <br />I don’t think you know what I’m offering <br />You use ignorance as your pride <br />Someday your eyes will be opened and you’ll see through this fog of lies <br />I’ll be on the brighter side of things <br />But I might just say goodbye.<br /><br />Elizabeth Walker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tired-of-waiting-2/
