A Long Wait

It's a long wait,

Almost endless, almost forever,

Amidst the clanging silence of never.

What is this hope that drifts in and out?

A cruel play... twisting emotions?

Or a merciless game of false notions?

It's light, no wait, it's dark.

Who can ever tell?

It's yes, oh wait, it's no.

Now isn't that just swell….

With half blind eyes I look upon your promise,

But you know, I've always been a doubting Thomas…

So humour me.
