'til i can wait no more

i will find comfort in the ticking of the clocks
in my house
for i can not fight its motion
patience, i need to seek
in this simmering turmoil


you told me not to wait for you
but my heart is a stubborn fool
i can not teach it to move on
it seems to have been suspended
in midair


i can not tell my head
to tell my heart
not to wait for you
so many times i tried to
but i can't

and so i will wait here
as the leaves of time
wither away

i will wait
until i can wait no more.
