• Patience wear thin
    as the waiting begins
    wanting, but not having
    reaching for, but not obtaining
    yearning, but not getting
    crushing, but not in love

    Warm arms embrace
    the one forced to wait
    holding, but not owning
    having, but not controlling
    possessing, but not ruling
    liking, but not in love

    The voices inside scream
    not enough to be real
    grasping, but not understanding
    knowing, but not comprehending
    perceiving, but not deciphering
    pining, but not in love

    Feelings stir up
    beyond rationale thought
    shattered, but not broken
    cracked, but not destroyed
    crippled, but not shredded
    devoted, but not in love

    Don't tell anyone
    of this madness
    but the darkness
    watching silently
    as things fall apart
