When, and how,
does this limbo end?
Whose touch will it be?
Surgeon or lover?
That ends this half life
of wanting and waiting.
I’m tired of mixed signals.
Of being loved but knowing
that the line is drawn,
just the other side
of where I want to be.
And what do I do
with this eager heart
that races ahead
as if it could shorten time
by wanting harder
wanting more.
