Waiting

on a street corner
for nothing in particular
for something out of the ordinary
some excitement to kill boredom
the ultimate fulfilment of an unspoken promise
whispered into young ears
waiting hungrily and drowning in tears
inside a seemingly endless dream
from which everyone eventually will awake
sooner or later with or without a scream
dissolving illusions and fake
it’s never too late
you don’t have to wait
not anymore
your feet touch the floor
