Watching... Waiting...

Watching... Waiting...
Veiled in illusions
Watching... Waiting...
For my angst to pass
Watching... Waiting...
It sits by my side
Watching... Waiting...
Time passing me by
Watching... Waiting...

Watching... Waiting...
My heart beats out an irregular rhythm
As I sit in this chair of discomfort
Staring down the hallway of discontent

Watching... Waiting...
For my inconsolable angst to pass
Exit out the back door of apprehension
Disappear into an emotional black hole

Watching... Waiting...
It passively lurks
Inside my closet of trepidation
Lying low til I'm at my weakest breaking point

Watching... Waiting...
So it can let loose inside my head
A chaotic nervous breakdown
That'll mortally straitjacket my soul

Watching... Waiting...
Leave my life in a state of disrepair
Amongst emotional carnage
Inside post-coital wreckage

Watching... Waiting...
Veiled in illusions
Watching... Waiting...
For my angst to pass
Watching... Waiting...
How long will it stay by my side
Watching... Waiting...
Only time will tell
Watching... Waiting...

Watching... Waiting...
My heart beats out an irregular rhythm
Vacillating emotions of discomfort
Inside my discombulated heart

Watching... Waiting...
So I hang my head up high
Inside a thoughtful noose
That will suffocate my anguish it at its root

Watching... Waiting...
For it to permanently cease and desist
The circular motion inside my head
That keeps me locked inside desperation

Watching... Waiting...
For it to go six feet under
Far below the surface of the earth
Where it will eternally rest

Watching... Waiting...
So I can live in quiet fortitude
Upon this sacred earth
As I pass through the seasons of my life

Watching... Waiting...
Veiled in illusions
Watching... Waiting...
For my angst to pass
Watching... Waiting...
Will it ever leave my side
Watching... Waiting...
Only time will tell
Watching... Waiting...
