The Waiting

It was then I decided not to wait any longer.
It was then I decided I could not comply with the rules.
It was then that my sight sought forward and found
the sunset reflected on glass windows.
It was then that I let go, with a bit of me thrown in
for good measure - and as far as sacrifices go
this had to go and it was just a matter of when, not how.

It was then that I decided
that the game was over before it even began
It was then that I got up and left -

whoever walked by that table that day,
saw someone else waiting.
