on patience

patience is not a virtue
its a lifestyle
the screwed logic is
i waited this long for you
what's 2 more hours?
what's another meeting
what's tomorrow?
if nothing but time
if nothing but
the closest distance btwn our two
hearts
minds
limbs
lips
eyes

patiently i wait for you
to come around
come back
call me
put life on hold
thoughts
on hold
me

patience is stupidity
is waste of time
is loss of self
into envelops of nothingness
into spaces of
time learning to know
me

patience is a blessing
for those who know how to
handle it
flip it for their own good
patiently
