I.....
Waited, waited, & waited
Until the silhouette of my patience
Was left lingering on the window panes.....
Sitting in emotions of defeat
But this seat......
Was my only attachment to you.....
A connection between your soul and my heart
Yet, we departed ways
In the middle of our days
Where the sun would try to hold on to that last lingering cloud
Before the moon would break through the shadows.....
Neither could fathom the reason why
They kept seeing my face day after day.....
I
Waited.....
On you to break the silence
Of this dark disposition
Wondering where the moments of wondering where you are
Were nothing, but wonders pondering on what to think next
Yet, nothing was left to think of
But you made your decision
And I couldn't believe I sat waiting on you to appear
Then disappear then re-appear like ain't shit happened
That chair should have crumbled beneath me
To let me know our foundation wasn't even sturdy enough
For me to lay my emotions on.....
Waited
Until the silhouette of my patience.....
Gave up on you and us
There was no trust
Nothing to discuss
I could give two fucks on what you're thinking right now
Do you understand how much of my energy went into
Waiting on you patiently
Daily
Nothing could sway me.....
Not even the wind could knock me off this pedestal of waiting on you
And for you to prove
There was nothing there all along.....
Until the silhouette of my patience
Was left lingering on the window panes.....
They say patience is virtue
But my patience is done with you
I.....
Waited, waited, & waited
Until the silhouette of my patience
Was left lingering on the window panes.....
