Deep in my waiting
I find many things
Relevant casings
Of fragile mistakes
When the world stops turning
I imagine the names
Of children who’ve flown
While I remain
With reasons I’ll always deny
While I’m waiting
Sounds of your silence
Hide quickly in shame
Broken forever
Affixed to your blame
Lessons of living
I haven’t instilled
Overdue payments on memories
Left un-fulfilled
Alone in a room without light
Where I’m waiting
