I Wait

By: Ella Kay

I am cold-
no warmth of touch,
kindness
or praise
reaches me.

Cocooned in loneliness
the crowd passes by-
none seeing, hearing
my pleas.

Touch me-
I am worthy of this-
reawaken my heart,
rekindle my life's
fire.

Look into my eyes-
see the wonders i hide;
waiting to bestow
magical passion,
brilliant laughter
and the ultimate peace
upon my one true love.

Warm me, my love,
I await you here-
I will wait forever
or at least until
my heart no longer
feels the presence
of yours
in this world.

On that day-
time will stop,
light will dim,
sound will roar
as I am swept into
complete nothingness
but I wait......
hurry!
