What We Wait For

Expectant
Anxious
Excited
Unworthy

Your arrival
Signifies commitment
To us
Who is not worthy

Time
Energy
Effort

Expended for us
When you don't have to lift a finger
Obligated to no one
Especially us

Yet you still do
This for us
Out of love
What else could it be?

Afraid of being disappointed
A lifetime
Of empty promises
And broken dreams

Has made us sceptical
Yet we take the chance
And prepare
For you to prove true to your word

Nerve racking
Impatient
We sit
Pace

Wait in on our names to be called
That one moment
Of release of anticipation
That gripped us

Ritualistic
Sacred
Habitual
Insanity

Is our routine
Of waiting
Preparing

If you haven't figured it out yet
Let me make clear
What I've been unclear about
The thing I'm talking about
Describing to you

What we wait for
The thingnw place stock in
Our hopes
Dreams
Nightmares
Is a visit from you...
