Waiting For Disaster

Heart pounding numbness at the thought, 

Intimate reminders of a time long forgotten. 

He was hidden among them,

Their many voices blending into one. 

He played his part for them. 

So ignorant. 

I watched from a distance 

Knowing so much more than they ever would. 

They were missing so much. 

Only seeing what stood in front of them 

While I read his words over and over 

Until they no longer made sense. 

They blindly kept us apart 

And then she was there. 

She wore his ring and he hated it. 

The three of us at the same place in time. 

It had never happened. 

Not like this. 

It was like a dream. 

There was no beginning and no end. 

Just waiting.
