Waiting Here (For You)
Life
Opens my eyes
Feelings inside, they revive
And they don't lie.
I, do not pretend
I am not caring.
Lights
Flickering out
Turn them back on, I see things
That I don't want.
You, won't understand
All that I'm feeling.
You've said those words before but you'd love to hide
From them to get me asking another time:
Why is it you're so busy,
Why are you always so bare?
Of all the emotions,
Why am I never aware?
Of all the things I did you never seemed to care
Why are you so unmoving, and why am I still waiting here?
Sight
Unseen but there
I am prepared
For a war that won't be won.
Lies, excuses and fights
I am so tired.
White
Bedsheet and lights
Reminding me how bare
This room is without you here.
How, can you just leave
Like you have no feelings?
Like ashes that once burned but will never rise
I sift through all my knots for the one you've tied:
If all I'm doing is just pleading,
Why do you act like a snare?
Trapping me inside cages,
My mind is reeling and I'm scared.
How do I say your name without remembering how you tear
My love from me, and from you I never got my share.
If
I know for fact
You do not care about me why then am I
Still hoping to see you with devotion?
Starting, shutting off
Fixing mistakes, reprogramming like a stray code
You've pulled from me more
Energy than I can offer.
Why do don't you pull me close or ask me to me near?
'cause I'm at a loss now, and I might not keep waiting here.

**fyi: when I was submitting this I could not see the images no matter what I tried. So, sorry if the picture does not fit the context at all. I'll definitely try to figure that out next time.
