Poetry

Quick steps on frozen earth
Quick breaths in the moon lit night
Waiting for daylight
Waiting for you
 
You left on a night much like this
You left with a frozen kiss
Said you would be back soon
I'm still waiting on you
 
Said you had a job to do
I could only watch as you dissapeared
Camoflagued by your hopes
Couldn't you see me wishing you would stay?
 
Quick steps on frozen earth
Quick breaths in the moon lit night
Waiting for daylight
Waiting for you

Fridged air keeps me from breathing
Standing in this spot, believing your words 
"I'll come home to you, just wait"
Well I'm standing here, a year has passed by
 
She shivers in my arms waiting 
Your last goodbye
Named her grace like you told me to
She has your eyes she, has your face
 
Quick steps on frozen earth
Quick breaths in the moon lit night
Waiting for daylight
Waiting for you

The letters stopped, piled in a corner 
I never read a single one
Told myself we would sit down together
And read them to her, you and I
 
This year it hasn't snowed
But I'm soaked to the bone
Left grace inside,
She's by the dooring waiting
 
quick steps on frozen earth
quick breaths in the moon lit night
waiting for day light
waiting for you

She calls him daddy  
And she cries when he leaves
He hold her close and says
"I'll come home to you, just wait"
 
He takes care of her, our baby girl
He holds her like you never did
He loves her like a father should 
She nolonger waits for you 
 
Quick steps on frozen earth
Quick breaths in the moon lit night
Waiting for day light
Nolonger waiting for you
