Wait

I'm still waiting
Here all alone as the shadows pass by
Strange outlines of people I once knew and cared for
Why do they ignore these silent tears?

Are you the only one who sees me?
I'll wait here forever
If only for a quick glance of your face
Just to see the color of your eyes

I'll call for you
Hear it on the wind as you stand perfectly still
Breathing in the icy air
And staring down at the water under a bridge

I'll slice my skin
Feel it as your thoughts turn to me
When you're up at night and nightmares don't haunt you
Feel my pain in your body

I'll tell you when it hurts
And you tell me when the world is making you crazy
We'll hide away in a dark place
And lose our minds together

You and I can become one person
We'll be darkness and light as one being
A darkened sky as the sun fades
And leaves only the dreary night as our company

Until then, I'll wait
Here alone near this river of salty tears
And call out your name
Hoping you will hear me
