And I had been waiting a long, long time

And I had been waiting a long, long time

A Poem by Carmen L.

I opened the window just to feel your chill

And just about the time the Shadows called

I saw you, creeping up the hill

And I had been waiting a long, long time

 

I opened my heart just to feel your cold

And just as I had accepted your terms

I saw you, strolling up the street

And I had been waiting a long, long time

 

I opened my mind just to understand your pain

And just then you would not let me try

I saw you, running up the way

And I had been waiting a long, long time

 

I opened the window just to feel your breeze

And just when I thought you would not show

I saw you, sink up my Sun

And I had been waiting a long, long time

 

I opened the door just to bring your pain

And just as I touched the frame

I saw you, shadowing my eyes

And I had been waiting a long, long time

 

I opened my eyes to your just splendour

And just then I knew what would happen

I saw you, you saw me

Because

I had been waiting a long, long time

Sometimes words cannot describe how I feel. Love, hate and fear all jumbled in one. But when I can put my feelings into words, I do. I am not an accomplished writer and good pieces are few and fa.. more..
