She grew tired
Tired of waiting
Waiting for the wrong one
One who wasn't right
Wasn't right for her
For her self esteem
For her peace of mind
For her ambitions
For her life
She grew tired
Tired of waiting
Waiting for her life to begin
To begin with him
With him always away
With him always out
With him always misbehaving
With him always doing wrong
She grew tired
Tired of waiting...
So she began packing
Packing her pride
Packing her joy
Packing her faithfulness
Packing her love
She packed it all up
And wrapped it
In her self worth
When she found
She was worthless to him
She grew tired
So she packed up
And left
Left him
Left him wondering
Wondering why
Why was she upset
When all he was being
Was himself
He made no pretenses
He made no promises
He gave no false hopes
He gave no illusions
But she saw
With hopeless hopefulness
What she wanted
Wanted him to be
Even though he told her
"I can only be me."
She had given herself
To hopelessness
Hoping against hope
Hopeful, yet hopeless
She knew in her heart
That he was not
Not right for her
For her hopes were too high
And he made no effort
To reach them
So she's packed up her hope
What little there is
Pasted on a smile
And went to face life
Again
