I sit waiting on the stairs

Hoping for you to come home

I don’t think you will

I saw you with her

Know that you saw me

Know now that the ring

On your finger means nothing to you

Know what I mean to you.

I mean nothing.

She means something.

Or maybe she means nothing.

Maybe she’s just a toy

Just a teddy bear for you to play with

Just like I was,

But am no longer.

Because I saw you with her.

Because I know you saw me.

Because now I know,

Know that you never loved me.

Know that I still love you.

But I won’t be loved back.

So now I sit waiting.

Waiting for you to come home

And explain,

Explain that it was nothing

That she was just a good friend.

But I know that’s not it.

Know you’re not coming home.

Know that I still love you,

Will always love you,

And right now I miss you,

Right now I hate you,

Right now I love you.

Right now,

I wait for you,

Knowing that I will be waiting forever.

Waiting,

Instead of loving,

Until death.
