Unchained melody

I feel like a ghost, waiting for something that’s staring me in the face with a blank expression. Why promise forever when you ask that I wait? We’ve been together for so long, that I’m well aware of how brash you are. And of how newer things that catch your fancy leave your old toys unloved. You said you’d be gone, but only for a while. Now you take it back.

Now you expect me to wait.

Old apartment

I once made love to an old friend in an abandoned apartment

We exchanged souls before a crowd of dust, cobwebs and mildew

She reached out for the window pane and wouldn’t let go

I felt the warmth of her essence with each thrust

We danced to the sound of our flesh pressed against one another

She let out a blissful moan as I became weak-kneed

Crucified

Here we are again, exchanging sadness and disbelief. Where has our faith gone? Perhaps the time we’ve spent apart, revealed how little I meant to you. How you keep on chasing dreams without me in it. While I, live each day for the both of us.

You asked me to make the sacrifice, and I did. Believing that you’d come back, that one day you’d realize that this is the “sure thing” that you’ve always spoken of. But now it feels more like it has become more of a safety, a fall back, a plan B when things don’t work out for you.

I’ll just sit here and wait.
