Amidst a crowded mall…
She stands alone
Waiting..
Adorned in ragged sweats
That once smelled
Of perfume on her first date.
Glancing at her imaginary
watch, as she
applies her lipstick
nervously
waiting..
For the lover
Who stole her heart
And left her
Dazed and confused
Her soul sings empty
tunes, ringing hollow
among walls of disparity
She waits..
Left alone
Without a cure
Life appears obscure
Lost in a world of insanity..
She looks around,
wondering why everything
looks different…
yet she waits..
