Of Waiting
by Sarah Fulkerson

All my friends have gone away
I'm left to contemplate my day
All alone now I must say this
The only one I truly miss
Is beyond the reach that is in my power
Here alone in this godforsaken tower
Healing gods of the seven gates
I don't know how much longer I can wait
Will someone come to lift me up
Before I drink from the poisoned cup?
The sun has fallen as if from grace
My skin crawls out from this withered place
The time floats by on silver dust
and pulls my hair to fly with the winds...I must
Must wait for you here
As a sigh escapes my lips I peer
Down into the cooling abyss
The sun sinking low into the darkness
My heart crawls back into it's shell
Still waiting in this slumbering spell
I'm in hell
