SHE WAITS

She waits feeling the emptyness
inside.
Listening for the sound of his footsteps
on the walk.
She watches as the sun sets and
evening begins to fall.

She can hear the cars driving by,
the silence of the birds, as night
settles in.
She waits hoping she will see him
again.
The moon is rising to give off its light
in the night.

They have met here many times
before.
He would suddenly appear like
magic from nowhere.
Disappearing before the morning light.

She waits as the hours slowly pass
by.
She can feel tears filling up her eyes.
The night air is chilled, with sweet
thoughts of him keeping her warm.

She falls asleep waking to the morning
light.
Her hand quickly brushes her hair
from her face.
He never did show, she wondered
where did he go.
Not leaving a trace behind.

But for the memories in her mind.
She waits as the hours slowly pass
by.
He would suddenly appear like magic
from nowhere.
Disappearing before the morning light.
