Waiting in Envy by Ivan Guerrero Najera

Waiting in Envy

The passing of time's line
The running of the hours
Taking away what's mine
What's yours, what's ours

The outline of your smile
Against the evening window
The need to stay a while
The rain my only foe

The shirt you wear outside
For warmth before the winter
The earings that you hide
Each door you use to enter

The road to everywhere
Far and away from me
The sights stealing your stare
The colors that you see

I'm lost, a stowaway
Against the tide of time
You let me go astray
Waiting and lost in rhyme
