Waiting and Waiting

Alone facing the side of the bed quietly waiting
Anxious with her system inside as yet to scream
Feeling chained in her mind seemingly disabled
Appearance long awaited but not seemed probable
Questions hammer hard into her mind as in a race
Must he just vanish into space without a trace 

Sighs of dismay permeated her confused thinking
Furtively through her heart slowly but wondering
Lying quietly in a mess prodding deeply aligned 
To a slow music bidding her to come over to dine

Kicked up a fuss earlier preparing a hot meal
Hoping to trump a good impression trying to seal
Memories of old when they gnashed their teeth 
Into the warm steak enjoying them with relish

Heat of romance similar to a late Spring day
Overwhelmed with colourful blooms in every way
Was it going to be the same episode as of late
She was stood up again by yet another of the fakes
