a girl waits

"a girl waits"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
enslaved by love
tormented by desire
ensnared in a glance
bound by a touch
haunted by memories
a girl waits
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
hungering for a caress
aching for a gentle word
longing for what is not
afraid of what could have been
knowing what is not
a girl waits
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gazing out into the night
feeling the mists enfold her
craving His touch
wishing for His command
knowing it will never come again
a girl waits
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
restless nights
dreams calling
passion remembered
tears answering
awaking to nothing
a girl hurts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sighing softly closing the window
to her heart
to her soul
to the past
to forever
a girl waits no more
