I wait
only one second at a time
thinking of her heart next to mine
the rhythm of a lonely man
the hand that cant be held
taken away
completely incomplete
the silence of the footsteps that have no feet

I wait
only in my sleep
I see her silhouette
holding hands with my breath that I struggle to catch
I lost what I once protected
the reflection of our memories
together make me smile

I wait
no matter how long it takes
my heart is pounding faster since you left with the brakes
this all has a purpose
it always heals
when it breaks
