It's late
The lights are out but you're still up
I cried
Your words were not enough
I sat down on the floor
With a bottle of pills
Took a few
Then I cried some more
I sat and waited for you
But you never came
I thought that you were late
But no
You never showed up
I hoped you would eventually
But you just turned and said to me
"Wait
A little bit longer
Now is not your time
But it will be soon
Wait
And take it slower
Now is not your time
To go away"
I said
"What do you mean
I tried to be me
But just ended up on my knees
In pain"
You said
"I know where you are right now
You're lost and in your brain
And you cannot escape"
Now I sit
And I wait
For it to get better
But no relief comes
I feel a pain in my stomach
The ache
Of your absence
It grows to be too much
And I cannot seem to fight it
I
Just want you here next to me
Telling me I'll be ok
But until then I have to wait
Until then I have to wait
Until then I have to wait
I don't know when you'll come
So I just sit here and wait
