The Girl That Waits
I stand waiting on a path
 I’ve traveled many years before
 Familiar sights enclose me
 that I’ve long since known anymore 
 
 A map birth-marked on my forehead
 so I’d never be late
 But as the winkles came it morphed
 So now I’m The Girl That Waits 
 
 If I met him here, halfway
 I was told I would be saved
 from the horrors, demons, and nightmares
 I unleashed when my soul caved 
 
 His kind breath that felt so close 
 my ears now dissolve into hate 
 My eyes conceal truth, as well, now
 and he made me become This Girl 
 That Waits
 
 As his fingers unhinged 
 from their tight clench on my heart
 it made my mind blossom
 but tore my vocal chords apart
 
 If he chose me again
 I’d openly welcome my fate
 So with my dreams to keep me from sinking
 I’ll be That Girl Who Waits
