"waiting not working"
Waiting for you in this empty room is never going to pay off
I drank the the entire fountain of youth
still I feel as if I will wither away long before you come around
We once believed that love was an endless glimmering ocean of hope and passion
but trust me Ive bathed in it long enough to know that it is nothing but a dingy puddle
polluted and acidic, not worth drinking at all
Waiting for you
I am seeing in black and white,I have become a negative of you
I am hearing nothing but static, expecting your voice to break through the monotony
Waiting for you I stare out at the world through my pushed back curtian
they smile and laugh, they shove their contentment down my throat
but I know deep down its fake, purity couldnt exist without you
Waiting for you, I have put everything else in a still frame in my mind
thinking that you are just as important to the rest of the world
this dark room is starting to convince me otherwise though
The air conditioner hums that I am the only one dumb enough to still fall for you
My tea has gone cold, and my plants grown frail and brown
The cracks in my ceiling just spelled out 'have fun wasting your time'

this is fabulous, and yes, I copied the whole last stanza. Pretty intense.
Best wishes and blessings always,
