Stories & Scripts

Source: Prose ‘n’ Poetry (3) Waiting

Author: Geraldine Harper

Title: Just

Count the minutes, lose the hours
Consciousness fades to sleep
Cold damp chills and hunger sours
Tears sting staining sallow cheeks

Mind over matter, just surviving
How many days can life sustain?
Thoughts still battle with surviving
As waters rise from burdened drains

In five days she would be missed
Work and family would be aware
In the routine of expectancy
Someone would notice she wasn’t there
