A gift unopened
a dream not obtained
a story in it's final chapter,
yet who done it, yet unnamed
A question left unanswered
a wish not yet granted
a syllable of the word given
only to find its been recanted
A scene of the movie played
a hint of mystery is fine at first
but a sip can no longer sustain
a soul that's dying of thirst
Nor can a morsel be adequate
when a feast is being prepared
this is not quite what one expected
when the other said they cared
I've held my breath for so long
I was totally unaware
of when I ran out of air
As I sit here wondering about the
happily ever after portion of this tale
I look to you for resuscitation
breathlessly waiting to exhale
