I waited here
Those long hours,
for you
Hopeful, you would notice me today
Then you came
And you gave a glance
Two-second attention – like a goldfish
I counted
Through the hurry in your eyes
I counted, till you turned your back
And your hips sang away
“Darkness on the Edge of Town”
I am still here
No longer waiting for you,
I am still here
Just wondering
Wondering if I really exist
Wondering if the two seconds
were for me
Or for the risky darkness behind me
I Waited Here
