The Weight of Waiting

They tell me, "Have patience, wait,"
But how long, they do not state.
I've only waited, since so long,
But truth is, I'm now not that strong.

It seems my patience has now ceased,
This burden on my heart increased.
Leaving it all to time's slow pace,
Only my heart knows this tough chase.

They say hold hope, and bravely face,
Time heals each wound, at its own pace.
With just this faint hope, I'm trying to stay,
Through endless nights and fleeting days.

Whisper rising from deep inside,
Strength worn thin, now nowhere to hide.
This endless waiting taking its toll,
And slowly draining hope's very soul.
