Waiting Too


He sat in his car
listening
to the rain
drown his thoughts
with what she was doing
if she was hurting
as much as he was

He sat in his car
thinking
about the words
that spilled
from their anger
he wanted her
to feel what he felt
and now
he wanted her to
feel what he was feeling

Pain. Loneliness. Fear. Love.

He sat in his car
wondering
if she would forgive him
if they could . . . he could not finish his thoughts
instead,
he placed his hands
on the steering wheel
again
and again
until the sound reverberated
through the stillness
of the rain’s melancholy
as he asked why

Very deeply sending,,,Nice one Mig..
