Analysis of I Saw Her Waiting
Hot concrete from a sweltering day, pressed against her once-white shoes.
Even though the bus don't come, she's paying reverence in the pews.
Reclining there against the glass, a broken string of pearls.
Only now her eyes are set, on distant far-off worlds.
In this way, she still stays... forever now at peace.
No. In this way, she has no pain... forever now deceased.
