THE WAIT

She loves him, oh him that she adores,
More than anyone she has ever cared before,
Even if the odds are at stake,
For he has another love that awaits.
Blinded with love she didn't care,
There was hope, she believed in them,
Never did she realize, there were no promises made,
No assurance of a future up ahead.
"Wait, just wait," she was told many times,
"Have more patience, my sweetie,"
Oh and she believed him many times,
For she loves him so tenderly.
He declared his love and hers to him,
The longingness was unbearable,
The loneliness indescribable.
But wait, until when is the waiting be?
He said to wait and be patient she should be,
But looks like there's no timeline in sight,
Does he know she also have the right...(to know?)
Another day, another weeks and another has passed,
No words, no calls...nothing,
Then lo and behold,
The answers to his deafening silence.
She saw pictures of her beloved one,
Building a new life with the other love,
How awful the feeling was!
The pain, the heartache was too much to bear!
Wanted to scream, wanted to cry,
But there's nothing else she could do,
Reality sets in, she's by herself...alone,
What a fool, she muttered to herself.
Rise up, pick yourself up!
Be proud of who you are,
And what you're capable of,
For despite the waiting,
The wait was in vain.
Wait no more
It's all over
"Goodbye my love," she says,
There is no reason.
For hope dies
As her love slowly fades away
Only memories stay,
But those too shall go astray.

Wow, Tony Taylor, what a quite compliment right there,
Didn't expect that as a first timer over here,
With all gratitude straight from the start,
I thank you so much from my very heart😊
It's complete story of one-sided "love" if I may say, and quite smooth nicely done. Like it.
Hello Yiyan Han, thank you for reading my piece all the way. My reason for the word astray is from the meaning itself (but not quite the entirity) which is "off the right path". There are other memories as well but those specific ones have to go away or wander off somehow.
l hope this answered your confusion.😊
Not confusion but misunderstanding. I know "the original meaning" as you said. Cheers.
Oh, sorry my bad. My apologies, you're right, it was a misunderstanding not the other. I stand corrected😊
All these poets just show how special this poem is. So very powerful and clever. I'm amazed I haven't come across you before. Simply astonishing, took me on a journey. Kudos. Peace and smiles. TFOTS
