So I Wait
by Anna Cellmer

So I wait,
Turning back
From the incorrect roads
Which I tread.
Wanting a moment,
To get away
From your power
In vain.
When the moon also
Prompts me the words,
That I'm yours
How could I
Not believe it?
When even my heart
laughs
Into the sweetest
Prophecy.
How could I
Distrust my heart
Which screams
For you, and it knows
That it is you.
