amber smiles and ducks her head,
avoiding eye contact
she watches their feet walking past,
wishing she felt less alone
their voices tumble around,
replacing her silence
still she wishes and she listens,
never feeling filled
never hearing that one voice
she ducks her head until
the day he comes
amber has no friends, and yet
she doesn't want any
the friend she wants is coming
she waits to feel less alone
she longs for no companion
she desires no best friend.
knowing he's there at the end
doesn't make her less alone
right now
but he won't let her fall and
he will not let her down
he is waiting for her now
and she knows he's not alone
amber knows he's coming, though
she does not know the day
he's on his way, he's coming
and now if only they...
could wait
they'd see she's not alone
*note: i have turned this one into a song. it ain't silent anymore.
