It cuts to know
You were here
When I wasn't.
I kept a vigil over these doors
Blessed them hallowed
By your imminent entrance
Any minute now
I said
But
The clock ticked a wind chime's dance
Turned the minute to days
and
After days of waiting and wanting
I walk away
Defeated
Yet
They say you came
Just as I left
Unperturbed about the time
Ready to put your hand in another's
And it cuts to know
That where you cut me
It still bleeds.
