It creeps up on you unexpectedly
Bringing with it, dead weight
With no time frame of its departure
And so you wait
You wait for the pain that'll soon hit
A pain so deep you feel you can't breath
A pain that feels like drowning
Gasping for air that isn't forthcoming
Then you wait some more
For the reprieve, however brief that comes afterwards
You wait for the guilt to hit
Yes guilt because the had I knowns become what ifs
For the wishes however vain, of doing it all over again
And then you wait, again
For the pain to subside
For the tears to stop flowing
For the ache to end
It's a waiting game
One that never ends
Cos this game, you'll play it over and over
In different ways
Different climes and times
Different scenarios
A never ending cycle
All you can do is wait
For it to run its course
