A Poem I Wrote - Waiting (written for a competition)

Waiting


The heartbeat of the clock

Is waiting to explode

The static of his heart

Keeps droning, eyes trembling

Extinguished candles that

fixate upon the lock

Of the bunker that he

fears could be invaded

He wants to blend in with

the concrete walls, to dress

like the curtains that block

the light from entering

and as the faint footsteps

disappear from his mind

his agony is gone - 

for now at least - he is

far from society.
