Waiting at the Door

entry picture

I can’t explain so deep inside
The very fabric of my soul
Only a heart that grieves such loss
Can ever truly understand

It’s like you’re waiting at the door
Until a loved one comes back home
You feel a longing in your heart
When they appear the longing stops

But in a loss that never ends
You’re always standing at that door
You feel the longing in the breeze
So incomplete and never filled

I cannot find the words to say
Just what it’s like to want forever
Never seeing them again
Just always waiting at the door

You put your finger on it there. Like waiting for a bus that will never turn up.

You have hit the nail on the head- and that is a good thing to do with an awful feeling- because your heart just had a word with my heart. X

wish I'd thought of this title, like the repetition of the line, can almost hear the voice.

Wow, Ally. That's great! So glad to see you posting again too. It reminded me of the Kath Bloom song The Breeze/My Baby Cries, don't know if you've heard it?
