Waiting




Two-thirty a.m.
And I’m staring blankly at my monitor
Hoping that something will change, something new will happen
Instead of this mindless procession of thoughts in my head
I am going crazy
Of nights with these faded star wars bedsheets
And an old ratted Peanuts comforter, linus and lucy wrapped
around me
It should be you
And so I sit, topless
In men’s boxers
Singing bonnie raitt songs softly hoping I don’t wake my parents
Trying to gather the strength to crawl into my bed
And spend another night
Dreaming of you

And my greasy fingers linger on the keys
