Waiting for you

my patience is so easily rubbed raw
soon the clock is screaming at me
and the deafening silence is throwing me to my knees
i am a desperate woman
crumbled with worry and question
i need your arms to rock me back to a calm reality
what happened to the days when concern was foreign?
i lost my easy laughter
and my individual optimism
alone, I stand on shaking legs
until you return
and paint me a smile
