Wait

You call out to me, I feign ignorance
You inch forward
Even though I've been standing here for days,
This lightning is relentless
Your promises come clean, gleaming with truth
Covered in a coat of chaos, they call out

Draw me closer, I keep inching forward
This was not supposed to happen, you didn't return
But then you did, although I didn't see you
I never see you, I avert my gaze
You grip me
Over and over again, until I'm forced to look
Until you're out of sight again
Then there's the wait; the long and arduous wait
But I wait; it's what I do best
