In the Dark

I sit here in the dark
listening, waiting
for your return

How long has it been?
I don't know
I only hear the
tic toc tic toc
of the clock beside me
making me feel
as if it has been an eternity

And my heart is
thudding against
my breast as my anxiety
rises to almost full throttle

Why is it taking so long
for you to find me here
all alone
in the dark?

Don't you know where
I am?
