Waiting

Watching the sun
rise and fall
is someone even there,
there at all?
i wait
i wait for hours on end
for a soul to appear
to save me from myself
and take me away from all the pain
that tries to eat me whole

the moon,
it takes the place of the yellow star
i sit and wait,
hoping for someone to appear
things take time.
well, i can't wait anymore.
save me from me, from myself

i will wait right here
for as long as it takes
even if the sun disappears
i will still be here
waiting for a soul to appear
