This Wait Poem by Nick Kler

This wait
Never ends for me
These dark, lonely nights
Eats me up alive

Why can't you send someone my way?
And make them mine

Something deep inside of me
Makes me so very sad
As if something of a greater significance
Is being taken away from me

Why do I feel so restless at night?
There is no one left to hurt me
There is no one left to leave

What are my eyes always searching for?
For me,
there's nothing left to bleed
