Waiting



Waiting

By: Rose Lyn Macapuno



It feels like a year of suffering

Too much heartbreak, my heart is wandering

These memoirs had turned into pain

Just like how my heart gone insane

I feel eternally lonely, waiting



Do I deserve such longing?

My mind tells me to break down

But My heart constantly frowns

Must I take a lot of courage?

For I to be that sage



I wish that I am doing well

Since I tried so hard not to dwell

This terrible Loneliness is killing me to death

Like this colossal weight is drowning me

Why do I feel veritably alone? waiting



The river I have created long ago

Becomes a sea of great scape anew

I am appalled to the great beyond

My soul is empty and nothing is certain

For I feel forsaken, still waiting

About this poem

It is about a woman who wishes to bear a child.
