Waiting
I sit patiently in the corner
With my tired hands folded in my lap
And my head hung
My hair creating a wall of black
That shields me from the outside world
So I don't have to see them
Moving on without you
Oblivious to your absence
Time passes and I hear them evolve
But I'm waiting behind
So when you return
We can adjust to the new world together
As I sit in my corner
All I can do is count
The days passing without you
My heart beats
The clock going
Tick tock
Tick tock
Every second turns into millennia
A hundred millennia without you by my side
I've watched the outside turn from rock to wood
Wood to stone
And stone to cement
And cement to metal
Everything's changing
But you're still not here
I'm patient but not stone
I can only wait so long
But I'll wait just a bit longer
Because that moment when you push my hair back
And I see that gorgeous smile
You hold my hand like a delicate flower
And you build me up again
It'll seem like only a minute has passed
"Now you listen to me, Nikola Tesla!" Helen said sternly to the apathetic vampire. "Don't go blaming everything on me, and making me feel like utter crap. You left me and I waited. A very long time. I helped you; I helped fake your death. And, you were just gone! Dropped off the face of the Earth and I couldn't find you." She took a breath, "You just disappeared, not a word or a letter or a phone call. Ever. You couldn't tell me you were alright? I missed you. You were my friend, and it seemed as if you died. Then, out of the blue you show up with this insane plan and then tried to kill me." Helen hissed.
Nikola shrunk back a little. "Now, I didn't mean for that-"
"And, then you were gone again. Nikola, you claim that I never cared. But, I did. I've waited, and probably am still waiting for you. You can't keep walking in and out of my life and making me the bad guy, because I'm not. Do you know what you put me through?"
Grief
You were there crying when he walked out the door
And you said nothing as she fell to the floor
Praying to you
And you said 'hurt is part of it'
Swiftly you embrace her shaking body
Shrouding them in everlasting darkness
As they wander alone
Through an endless maze of denial
Leading them like a mouse and cheese
The loss of a loved one is your parting gift
There is nothing to give but
Trembling palms
Wobbly knees
And an endless supply of tissues
My name is Grief
I hang around graves and funerals
I was there hanging my head which is my approval
Encouragement for you to cry
I creep into your mind and soul
Seeping through your skin like the moisture in the air
A disease that shakes the core of you
Cutting down every nerve, setting you on edge
And I settle in your heart like a stone
Weighing you down, pulling you under
Until you can't breathe or see or function
I'm all you think about
All you feel
I hypnotize you with my cold gray hands
Puppeteer my way into your flesh
Walking aimlessly with a blindfold on
As I search and grasp for a ghost
Because I can still feel your presence
It lingers
It haunts me
You constantly whisper in my ear
You've seen all
Sickness
Murder
Death
Abandonment
When you were gone
I had to cry myself to sleep
Because it felt like someone died
The sky had one less shining star
Never did the world seem so dark
