Lady In Waiting

This one was a tough one. Rough time in my life, but made a beautiful write. Hope you enjoy it.

I patiently await your answer

It hangs in the balance like the half moon hangs

Illuminating the night sky

I begin to feel restless and weary

How can one rest when the reticent sound

Of my distress attempts to follow me to my bed?

I do not want loneliness to take the place of you

I cannot bare any more callous, vigilant nights

You are letting me drown in my own sorrow;

Deeper than the deepest sea.

God, please take this venom that floods my tongue

So I do not save it; and fire it at his angelic face

For when he is present, he makes everything exquisite

He makes the world seem enchanted

His golden eyes, his translucent skin...

I would give anything for him to envelop me

But who am I to wish, to implore such?

I am but an unexceptional woman with exceptional adoration

For the querulous warrior that haunts my dreams. 

I am blessed to have even been cursed with the adeptness to feel love.

If I had never felt love, I'd have never known you.

If I had never known you, I would not know myself...
