Just waiting

she sat cross-legged,
there, on the bed

the invite was there,
gone unsaid

when she was busy
oh he needed her…

when she gave time
he feared of his sure

years separated their
generation gapped

too many wrong words
left them sapped

damn but her dreams
had been forever

now here they sat on
edges of never

sharpened words in wait
to commit the sever

she sat cross-legged
on dreams still young

a strangled song
gone unsung

perhaps at the window she saw
the reflection of another
that carried her youth
on his sleeve

deca, can imagine this scene
but a new day waiting just outside

enjoyed the view of it all

The first part made me think of a flirtation... with a world of opportunities ahead. *S* But then comes the sadness of opportunities lost... the story of all too many lives. *S* Well done, Deca... I like this!

So much said with so few words...I can relate to this.

I always relate to your words and this one goes even beyond my sighs and hidden emotion, this is excellent writing...

Take care,

'too many wrong words
left them sapped

damn but her dreams
had been forever

now here they sat on
edges of never

sharpened words in wait
to commit the sever'

This hits way too close to home, but, regardless, this is an excellently written poem...I like it a lot...

And though my heart feels all alone without you
I still hear you sing to me
I still hear your voice on the sea...
