In The Meantime - Aaron Sprinkle

She waits alone

She gets tired

As the day falls down

She seems uninspired

She won’t wait

Much longer

And the tears held back

Make her stronger

In the meantime I get open eyed

To my lowly state of mind

The kindest thing

That she’s seen

Is an open mouth

Without a scream

At her feet

Like water

The reflection there

Is getting darker

In the meantime I get open eyed

To my lowly state of mind

If I can’t hear her

Will I ever know

A love that’s meant to grow

All my life I’ve wondered how

The things I’ve been

Could make a difference in the end

But every day it seems more clear

I don’t know how I’d make it through

If you weren’t here
