The Wait

The halls, cold and silent, I wonder, I pace
In this deafening silence I wait
My world inside anticipates your embrace, 
as it expands my love and melts my hate

The last few steps of a world I once knew
I walk towards a new unknown
frightened with excitement I watched how you grew
only to give birth in somber solitude, alone

Loneliness witnessed by many eyes, no sight of a smile
Yet still I wait, to smell your hair and touch your face
Cold and silent , I wonder, I pace
I wait, I wait, I wait.

-Talia Egelhof
