Waiting

Waiting can be beautiful and Ugly

Some days were better than others 

Some days I passed by, beat, torn by snowy haymakers

Thrown by multiple hands

Some days I held the flowers that I never gave to you

Some days the flowers would be arranged in a  beautiful array  

Some days they were wilted 

But it became my routine 

Stop and wait, 

Stop and wait, 

Stop and wait,

It became a rhythmic cycle waiting for you

Stop and wait, 

Stop and wait, 

Stop and wait,

And when you showed

I never boarded; I don’t know why

Until one day three haymakers knocked me out 

And I didn’t show anymore
