I’m Done Waiting For You


Seeing your letters after long day’s toil, 

like flowers with warm ethereal glow 

grounded solitarily in iced soil 

Comfort and warmth upon me they’d bestow 

I held your promise so close to my heart 

No matter how hurt I felt, I held on 

But I’ve heard rumors in our time apart 

Plunged into dead darkness, all flowers gone 

If you still loved me, I just cannot see 

Why you’d lie or leave me lost in the cold 

But If you still loved me, wouldn’t you be 

Here, loving, or true to promises told 

I won’t forget you, but I’m walking free 

Hope you’re happy. Farewell. From, Marigold.
