I Wait Poem by Melanie Emikohe

I Wait

Rating: 4.1


Like an obedient child,
I wait. I wait.
Tomorrow, will you?
At a friend's party.

I despise dreaming
because they're lies;
sweet hearts' tales
gone by breakfast.

Perhaps i should be
satisfied with gazes;
for your lips are frozen,
stitched and dead.

nice the last stanza- Perhaps i should be satisfied with gazes; for your lips are frozen, stitched and dead. ...... no soreness; no boring vest one drop of smiling or concerning tears on the dried way of coming in this night morning.......... till then waiting; till then waiting cause love is crawling! ! ! ! ! !
