Patience wear thin
as the waiting begins
wanting, but not having
reaching for, but not obtaining
yearning, but not getting
crushing, but not in love

Warm arms embrace
the one force to wait
holding, but not owning
having, but not controlling
possessing, but not ruling
liking, but no in love

The voices inside scream
not enough to be real
grasping, but not understanding
knowing, but not comprehending
perceiving, but not deciphering
pining, but not in love

Feelings stir up
beyond rationale thought
shattered, but not broken
cracked, but not destroyed
crippled, but not shredded
loving, but not devoting

Don't tell anyone
of this madness
but the darkness
watching silently
as things fall apart
