Waiting

I’d like to ask you to

Hold my face in your hands

Say you understand

I know you can’t sleep but it’s

Good to close your eyes and be still

The body needs rest

Cut my hair short for years

And I’m waiting, waiting

For change that’s only clear

When I’m waiting way too long

When is the perfect day

That doesn’t start with you?

I want you beside me

But you were not beside me

Your arms, did I feel them in a dream?

Unrest and consequence

I’m pulling out all requests

This body is a test

Moving every two years

I am waiting, waiting

For change that’s only clear

When I’m waiting way too long

When is the perfect day

That doesn’t start with you?
