The wait

waiting...

Night after night she waited for the call to come.
Her eyes set on the screen.
Ears alert to any sound.
But the silence drew heavier.
'He has forgotten me.' She fears.
All too true and too late she realizes.
Love has walked away already.

Never more

Why does it still hurt?
The awkward silence where once was meaning filled glances.
Shrouded thoughts and painful smiles.
I can't do this anymore.
Goodbye to us and never more.
