I am waiting for the light

I am waiting for the light

Patiently awaiting
I stared into smoggy morning
Of my life, the silhouette on street
Familiar and friendly, resembling you

Mistake again, I do not descry the man
He is not you, the alien just passing by
I swallow tears,unable even scream from heart
The waiting weighing me down, you still not here

How long more ?
I am beat up , fatigued from poison ivy's dreams
Rather nightmares ,where you coming closer
Few steps in between and when i get a hold ,you wane

The patience have the limits too
Or you want me be grey and old
Worn by misfortunes, burnout woman
I probably will not interest you anymore

I am waiting for the light to shimmer in the gloom
