Waiting In The Shadows Poem by Darlene Belcher

i stand alone, waiting in the shadows
waiting for my lover to come

he promised me tomarrow..
he promised me today..

but he has yet to come

oh my lover, you sligh little thing,
how could you forget me oh so?

i cry upon my evermost nights,
my nights i've spent alone.

can't you hear me calling?
just in the mist of all?

i'm but merely here
gracefully near the wall.

you challange my love,
i can see that.

you wonder how long i'll wait
but you just sit there and ponder your wait

we shall see were we will belong.

i've been casted amoung the shadows,
back sprawled against the wall..

just a dream.
no a nightmare infact.

don't worry...
i will be gone.

But when the day comes,
that you'll hear my song

i laugh and sing, rejoice.

becouse i know that just with this
you'll envy to hear my voice.

so forget me my lover,
ha, yes we shall see

we shall see the challanger indeed.

until that day comes, i'll just fiddle my thumbs
with not but a mere smile.

Come my lover, remorse me at last
i shall be here...
forever in the past...

waiting in the shadows......
