The Waiting

Poem about a failing relationship

The waiting was easy
When our love was new
I lived and breathed for
The time I spent with you
I waited for you and
Your sparkling blue eyes
I waited for you like
A Christmas surprise
I don't know just when
The wait got so long
I looked around one day and
Realized I'm always alone
I'm waiting to reclaim
A love grown cold
I'm waiting for nothing
And I'm just getting old.
