Analysis of wait for me
i fall bleak
as i turn around
and forget what i know
wait for me
im on my own
i know not what i should
nor where i should go
i know only the eternal inferno of my fate
so wait for me
guide me as you please
like you will do to her
with her unadorned mind
and her effortless intimacy
wait for me
wait for me
to be like her
replace me if my efforts become slow
and my heart abates
though unlikely
so
wait for me.
