Waiting Causes Cancer

Seems my whole life I’ve been waiting
For parcels, for products, people and permission
Purpose, participants, peaks and pride
Every waiting moment is based on another decision

But I know I need to be with you
And this wait is got me starting to wonder
Scared about at which point
Does my shy heart grow too much fonder?

You're too far away to love
You love me enough to know
She is here and right now
I can not stand to lie alone

When you are here I wish hard that she's not around
How my body aches with cravings to just have you
But she's no you and will never try to understand
She's a coat for the storm but you’re my sky when I’m blue

If only you would stay for more then a teasing week
I see in her simple eyes what she wants from me
It’s the same as the future I dream of with you
If you didn't leave, you wouldn't leave me weak

Promise me to stop leaving me here
Before you ink my name into your heart
Promise to stop tearing me up
Don't ask about ‘the girl’ who'll never fill your part

Lies and frowns are the hardest things to give to you
Shameless is the pride I have, to be the one to touch you

Seems my whole life I’ve been waiting
This was never meant to be an easy decision
This whole time you’ve been waiting for my answer
You’re still all that I see through this cloudy vision
 
Piercing.

This poem really captures, in my mind, what one wants versus what one has, and truly questioning why they aren't the same thing already.
