Waiting

I wish I had something deep to share
but I am numb and hollowed out
I have no other feelings to spare
I lost my voice and cannot shout

I used to scream to the world
from the top of my lungs
that I am just another girl
with life waiting to be sung

The words at the tip of my tongue
Are lost to me and you forever
and no matter how hard I clung
I slowly did have to surrender

Because I can't stay young
I had to grow up and give in
and all of my words unsung
are where I secretly live.

I am no longer the wild girl
I grew into a broken woman
I hide away in my own world
waiting for my piece of heaven
