Yesterday I drew a picture
Right here in my computer
And I based it on a photo
A photo I found of you
Yesterday I sketched lines
And I filled those lines in
With grey and attempted
To add colour to your eyes
Yesterday I wrote a word
Across your skin
A word that said 'waiting'
All in lower case
And I thought about posting it
Up on to the internet
Got as far as wondering
What to write with it
And decided not to do nothing
To leave it on the desktop
And yesterday I thought
'I'll wait'
But I won't say I'm waiting
And who knows how
These things are supposed
To go? Not me, I've not
A clue at all
Waiting or doing
Or some waiting actively
Doing it passive
I thrash at my feelings
Right here in my computer
And I based it on a photo
A photo I found of you
Yesterday I sketched lines
And I filled those lines in
With grey and attempted
To add colour to your eyes
Yesterday I wrote a word
Across your skin
A word that said 'waiting'
All in lower case
And I thought about posting it
Up on to the internet
Got as far as wondering
What to write with it
And decided not to do nothing
To leave it on the desktop
And yesterday I thought
'I'll wait'
But I won't say I'm waiting
And who knows how
These things are supposed
To go? Not me, I've not
A clue at all
Waiting or doing
Or some waiting actively
Doing it passive
I thrash at my feelings
