No More Waiting - Onyay Pheori

I come unraveled in the silence

of what we left behind

I was an island in defiance

until you woke me up inside

In the spark we saw a world

of who we could become

But then you shut it down

and you walked away

before it had begun

I will drink my trail of tears

I will tell my tale of woe

I will crawl now

I will walk somehow

Then I’ll come in from the cold

No more waiting

No more waiting

No more childish games

I will stand inside the fire

I will swallow the flames

If you had asked me

I would’ve told you

Not to dive into my heart

less you could hold me

in the daylight

without leaving scars

To love divine

to eat from this bowl

In the daylight

You’ve left me weakened

and starving for your soul

I will drink my trail of tears

I will feed upon the night

I will crawl now

I will walk somehow

Then I’ll run into the light

No more waiting

No more waiting

No more second thoughts

I will rage inside the fire

I will end this paradox

No more waiting

No more waiting

No more fools gold

I will rise inside the fire

A vision to behold

No more waiting
