Pop Poetry: I Have Waited
January 13, 2021
I have waited for this moment
And as I am sitting down
I rethink
Everything
Every performance
Every bow
Every time I hid
And now to every time I’ll hide
I raise a glass to all the time I spent
dreaming bout your eyes
Every time I will relive the moments we got
And I will pluck through them hoping that one day
I can sweep you off your feet
My tiny dancer running round
Like a field mouse through the wheat
But to speak is to lose you
And I want to speak up
But to say anything at all would cause pain
To much to think of
The muscles in my face are tied to strings that lie around you
And every time I wish to say, “love you”
I surround you with knives on the end of the strings
That slash and leave you crying,
“I hate you but I still love you”
And though our moments are dying
I just want to keep trying
Though I dream of being near you not around you
Connected by our red string
Until we meet again
My love
My hope
My everything
