Waiting...
You're not going to come, it's obvious...
But still like a fool do I watch and wait
For you to come to my door. Though it's late
And I should sleep I let these torturous
Thoughts conquer me. Are you oblivious
To my needing you? Can you truly state
You need me? I know this, at any rate,
If I ignored you, you'd be furious.
As I lie here, still staring at the door,
Heart lying broken on the bathroom floor,
I make tears and concern into an art.
Amid silence I hear a distant beat
Possibly being the sound of your feet
Though more likely it's the pound of my heart.

Hi Tony... Interesting construction. Challenging to read because of it yet once read through a few times seemed to fit for me. Its a desperate lonely poem and a as such the format seems to reflect the hpelessness of things. (Sorry not describing things very well) but imagine it in a tight da de da de da rhyming couplet. not good I think. Winston
