Emptiness.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I wait for you.
I wait until two.
The night grows blacker.
I dont know what to do.
You walked far this night.
You walked out of sight.
My loneliness eats at me.
Not quenched by tea and treats.
I watch no more.
No more am I looking forward.
I lie still. Words broken in two.
Eyes closed but mind open I wonder if we are through.
I wait for you.
