I'll Wait For You

You left me today
before the dawn

I watched you walk away
into the shadow
and the mist
regretting what was unsaid
knowing that you heard it anyway

I fear for you
and for me
that you won't
come home
that you'll leave me
alone
that I'll wait for you
on the pier
in the rain
and you won't come

the days stand still
when you're away
I lament you absence

and I await your return
