Myths & Stories

The Wait

—

My time drips to the floor
Vanishes in the cracks
Drunk by the thirsty wood
Like water from a capsized glass
Leaving me unquenched
Letting the canyons on my face run dry
As I wait for the world, the people, the life
To do what they promised
And I turn to stone
Then to dust
Since I let my time
Go to waste

        I have heard a few since my time here and it has helped… So it is only fair to pay it back when I see it 🖤
