Still Waiting

Two days
Have you been gone
And as I fear
Your love and mind
Had left long before

The empty presence
You have forgotten
Has yet dispersed
But grew and fed
On Mother's worrying grief

With every thought I think of you
I hate to express
My inner distaste
And conscious whirlwind
Of your extended betrayal

Less than a year ago
You realized you wouldn't live forever
And when God gave you another chance
You spent it like a drunk man
On liquor and fun

While Mother and I waited for you at home

We're still waiting....

Where did you go?
