I wait, the clock ticks slow and cruel,
A fool beneath a fading moon,
In shadows where your love once bloomed,
Now silence fills the empty room.
I trace the echoes of your name,
Like chasing smoke that flees the flame,
A whisper lost to winds of change—
Yet still I stand, unchanged, the same.
The minutes bleed, the hours fade,
I drown in hopes that never stayed.
Your heart is locked, its key unknown,
And here I am, still all alone.
I wait for love that won’t return,
For flames that fade and cease to burn.
Wasting my time, yet here I stand,
A dreamer waiting for your hand.
But time is cruel, it won’t relent—
The heart that waits is soon spent.
So I release what once was true,
And stop the waiting—all for you.
