I Waited
by Charles M HarrisonYou said you would call
So I waited
Trusted you, never hesitated.
You said I would see you
So I waited
Trusted you, never hesitated.
You said we were friends
So I waited
Trusted you, never hesitated.
You never said you cared
And I waited
Trusted you, never hesitated.
One week, two
And I waited
Trusted you, never hesitated.
Others said forget
And I waited
Trusted you, never hesitated.
Two months, three
And I waited
Trusted you, never hesitated.
Some say I am a fool
And I waited
Trusted you, never hesitated.
Three years, four
And I waited
Trusted you, never hesitated.
All my life
I have waited
Trusted you, and never hes-i-tated. 05/10/2000 Posted on 02/10/2003

Blind trust is wonderful, but it makes one very vulnerable too.
To me the repetition of the line "trusted you, never hesitated" is just a bit too much. I think if you drop a few of them, the message comes across just as well and the poem will flow a bit more. Nevertheless I like it !! |
