all I ever wanted was to hear you call my name

good things come to those who wait
well I waited for years and you never came
and it’s not the same
to dream of your eyes, your lips, your skin
without you being there
if you came now it would be too late

as I bleed onto the cold tiles
I wonder how things would be
if you had never smiled at me
would I find myself on the same hard floor
begging for more
or would I be happy?

my love will flow across the room
to creep in and under our bed
where your head lies on my pillow
with nothing true left inside
in there you’ll hide
as I slowly die

seeping red is my love as it spreads
into the carpet, sinking down below
when tomorrow comes I’ll be gone
just as you left the day
I said I loved you
and you stopped trying

so my voice has been silenced
and my eyes close one last time
I tried to love you
and look where it got me
goodbye
