Waiting

Life moves too quickly, times change so fast;
I never wanted to be here.
Dreams and images come and go as soon as they're cast;
The only one that remains is that she's near.
People are not people, I've used their lives as evidence
To show how I've been slighted.
I was allowed to love once, and ever since,
The pain of her loss has caused me to fight it.
The stories said that we'd be together forever,
But they all lied.
From our lofty paradise our union did sever,
When I was reborn, I actually died.
Now as I'm imprisoned on this rotting rock,
Watching everybody else, so happy;
I see through jaded eyes how to unlock
The guarded secret of my tragedy.
This life was not meant for everyone
And now I must turn away;
Everything that lives under the sun
Will not influence me another day.
As I walk the path alone,
My pulse thunders in my ears;
I'm transported far away from all I've known,
Released of all my fears.
She comes to me again in my mind,
Her beauty, a mere mortal's death.
When I'm brought back to her I know I'll find
The sweetness of my first breath,
For I'll be dead until I die
When I'll be returned to that distant sky
Where she is waiting, always waiting,
While I am stuck here, always raging.
