He was supposed to come
yesterday, the day before,
I don't even know.
His excuse?
"I'm working".
"I'm busy."
"I have a good friend coming over."
"I'll reschedule for
tomorrow."
Tomorrow.
So I wait
Already dressed
I become what he loves
I'm skinny
Green eyes
Black hair
Red lips and shoes
God, red
His favorite color
Little black dress
I wait
I pace
And finally fall asleep
In the corner
Waiting since yesterday
Til tomorrow.
Author notes
I tried, but no guarantees.

I like the almost simplicity feeling this envokes; I see her all dressed and ready to go and being disappointed each time
Well penned!

Thank You & Best of Luck
Stay safe
