“Slow Poke”

Too many times I have sat here.

I wonder how many more I will sit here.

I guess it will be as long as I know you.

I sit here waiting for you.

You never come.

I hope at some point you will.

I sit here everyday just wishing

That you would come my way.

Everyday you don’t

Is another day that I have wasted away.

I’m sitting here and you finally come.

I sit up and start to stand.

You walk by and don’t see me sigh.

All I can do is wonder why.
