Standing There

I needed that last night

For you to tell me

That you miss me

It made me feel better

Knowing that we’re still

In this together

From the first day

That you opened the door

And asked me to come inside

That you called me

To tell me

That you had arrived

Even though you told me

That you’d be here

I didn’t want to believe you

Because I didn’t want to be

Disappointed and hurt

Like many times before

Many times

Being stood up

Made to be left there

Standing there

Waiting there

Waiting for nothing

Waiting for no one

When they are at home laughing

Because they knew I would wait

As long as it took

An hour or more

Until I realized

That nobody was coming

That I was foolish

For thinking that they would

For hoping that they would

When they were at home laughing

Because they knew I was foolish

To stand there

To wait there

Alone

For nothing

For no one
