Waiting

Author: G. Powers

Within these walls I barely breathe
When, in solitude, I exist
My thoughts are scattered and vague
Confusion is hard to resist.

I wait to hear your sweet voice
On the other end of the line
Telling me your secret dreams,
Your beliefs, how you've spent your time.

I count the hours until we meet
My memory holds you near
I can almost touch you, so it seems
It keeps away my fear.
