Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
A woman waiting for her lover to see her, recognise her, come to her. And now, waiting for the lover-turned-ex. Why?
I waited. For hours and days and years my love. I writhed in wait. I wallowed in wait. I lay naked. Bare and raw. And I waited.
I waited for you to consume me. Flesh on flesh, bone on bone. I waited for you to come claim my mind Provoke it, play with it, unleash it.
I waited for you to pull me away With your staggering strength I waited for you to fill me up With love and love and love
I waited for you to excite my mind To build me memories I’d hold dear When death would come knocking at my door, I wish for them to live forever
I waited for you to stimulate me To enter me, my soul, my heart, my mind To make me yours, and be unbridled and mine.
I waited for you to solve my riddle, To un-layer it, un-peel it, fathom it Pore by pore, skin by skin I waited and waited and waited my love For you to want me and want me again.
I waited for you to see me, See me. Read me, I waited for you to tell me That I was not what you wanted.
I waited and waited and waited my love, Because I wanted to hear you say it. And then I would’ve told you my love, That I was me, complete and whole.
That it was actually you who waited. For me to kiss you awake. It was me who unleashed you, Now laying naked and awake.
Because it was me, my love The power you couldn’t see. Because it was me my love, The being you couldn’t be. Wait for eternity my love When sorrow will wait with its head down It will consume you the way I thought you’d me And your wait will then be home.
I will wait and wait and wait my love For that day to come When you will see what you lost When you’d see what I’d become.
I will wait and wait and wait my love Like I waited for everything else I will wait for your destruction my love Like I’ve waited for nothing else.
