In the Wait, In the Want

blue carriage rolls, her crown in place

history repeats, another lost race

she leaned in while wondering if he really was the one

why do hearts change once the chase is done?

august’s charm puts her heart in doubt

he’s distant when she needs him around

is this the boy she met, or a role he cast

did he change to fit, or was she blind in the past?

few moons ago, he’d move mountains with grace

now their talks are mere updates

unsure of tomorrow, is it time to flee?

chasing a feeling that’s now hard to see

it's the phase of sleepless nights and struggles untold

I place my bets, she'll stumble - her path's uncontrolled

moments stolen on borrowed time

a brief escape, as she crossed the line

this one says he's not ready, but still, waits

not choosing her now, leaving it to fate

she deserves this, she’s made it through

but wonders what her heart will choose

should she trust the spark that was at first

or embrace this change, quench her thirst

she’s promised herself to build anew

but hides the mess from the one who knew
