I Wait

Ella Kay

I am cold

no warmth of touch,

kindness

or praise

reaches me.

Cocooned in loneliness

the crowd passes by

none seeing, hearing

my pleas.

Touch me

I am worthy of this

reawaken my heart

rekindle my life's

fire.

Look into my eyes

see the wonders I hide

waiting to bestow

magical passion

brilliant laughter

and the ultimate peace

upon my one true love.

Warm me, my love

I await you here

I will wait forever

or at least until

my heart no longer

feels the presence

of yours

in this world.

On that day

time will stop

light will dim

sound will roar

as I am swept into

complete nothingness

but I wait......

hurry
