Poised In Wavering

Poised in wavering. Dial tone. One ring.
Resolutely silent. Message, unsent.
"Try again someday." That's what she'll say.
Suffer still again. Just to avoid an end.


Anticipating all will go
back to the way things used to be.
Procrastinating even though
inside she knows her heart broke free.


Absolve repeatedly. I'll change, you'll see.
Smile and promise kiss negates remiss.
Waiting here too long. Holding on strong.

Time has forced to know. She will let go.


Anticipating all will go
back to the way things used to be.
Procrastinating even though
inside she knows her heart broke free.


She leaves her heart on the porch as she opens the door.
Regret aside, she can't take anymore.
Burned from suspicion and bruised from the lies.
Fooled by the promise and indifferent tries.


She once believed that's how it should be.
Now face-to-face to show him she sees.
But facing loneliness she struggles to say...
Chooses surrender and just walks away.
