You ought to come.
I waited and waited,
till the golden fish got tired of swimming
and slumped to the bottom of the pond;
till the walls got tired
of the chiming of the clock,
and cracked;
till the sun melted on the street,
and sky turned pinkish gray with lava;
till the cataclysm broke loose,
and the world fell to pieces;
till the face turned crimson
and eyes moistened red;
till there was a trail of the tears
flowing into the sea of agony,
that was beyond any one to stop-
not even the angels.
And then there was the deep blue silence ,
only to be broken by my sighs and sobs.
You ought to come.
