Waiting

Lying here
in screaming silence,
I can almost touch
loneliness, so familiar.
I can feel
warm and ancient tears
falling on this
frozen grief.
Lying here,
barely breathing,
I wait until
these tears will form
their soothing dreams,
this pain will fade away
in time, in sleep.
So here I lie waiting
until I’ll wake up
in a world that’s
forever mine to keep.
