Midnight Madness

What a pity,
that now (at this age, but mostly despite where I am)
I'm still waiting breathlessly by the phone.
Sometimes I think I've been patient,
(Although you might not see it)
but that's almost at an end.
And although now's not the time,
it will be soon, I tell myself
and once that happens, I'll leave, I say.
But who am I kidding, I probably won't.
Because, I'm kind of hopeless that way.
