Patience

Within me

I hold the soul of a long forsaken entity.

It lingers amongst the hidden aspirations of my chaotic state of mind.

I call out hoping to touch that of which I've lost,

but only clutch the vast emptiness left behind.

I fall to my knees and tremble,

the deprivation of life, that sweet poison,

thickens the air I breathe and I fight for one last breath.

Panic crawls beneath my skin, and soon it all ends.

I awaken to mist lightly falling upon my skin,

it's your guidance and love which lifts me upon the balls of my feet,

I'm bruised and torn,

yet I find solace in your vacancy and I patiently wait for your return.

My admiration for you always seems to grow deeper,

so I sit and wait…

I'll wait.
