The Long Wait

1/16/2025

An eternity has passed

An eternity

Awaits me further

Wilting in my bed

I wait 

For signals that you are near

But you grow

Ever colder 

Yet I wait

Praying for you

To arrive swiftly

Would stave off death

Waiting in the trees

That grow

Around me but distant.

I wait

Starving

Watching

Feeling the light fade

I know my time

But this was too-

Wait. Nevermind.

The delivery driver is here.
