Waiting

Written by Zelda

 

 

 

 

 

Waiting

Waiting for the worms

Waiting for the end

Begging for a break

Waiting in the halflight

In a hall of mirrors

Watching yourself watching everybody else

Nevertakeyoureyesaway

You’resafeuntilyoulookaway

Waiting to slip

Waiting to blink

Waiting for a verdict

For the magic answer

For a feeling scrawling spinewards

Bile rising in your throat

Tension’s pull

Waiting for the water to rise

Waiting to breathe

Waiting to die

Waiting to be defined

To be real

To undo

To end

This.
