I'm Done Waiting

Santajah Douglass

I'm done waiting, waiting, waiting,

For you to come back,

Waiting for you to text,

Ready to make plans,

To know what's next,

 

I'm done waiting, waiting, waiting,

For you to step up,

For you to be there,

And to show me that you care,

 

I'm done waiting, waiting, waiting,

I refuse to play the part,

Of your missing lady,

Or the part of anyone's lady at all truly,

Until they can prove to me,

They're ready to risk it all,

 

Tell me, look at my perspective,

And what do you see?

Yeah, it's great to always have somebody waiting in the wings,

But that's good for you,

What about the stress it puts on me too?

 

So yes, I'm done waiting, waiting, waiting,

For you to come,

Waiting for you to call,

Waiting for you to text,

I'm just done waiting all together,

 

I'm done waiting for forever,

And forever can start right now,

When forever could have started yesterday,

When forever could be the end of a lifetime,

Just you and me,

 

But it's not going to be,

Because I'm done waiting on you,

Because of everything we have been through.

 

I'm tired of waiting for a love that may never come,

I'm tired of waiting for promises that are left undone,

I'm tired of waiting for a future that's uncertain,

I'm tired of waiting for you to be the one.

 

I'm done waiting for your excuses,

For your empty words and empty promises,

I'm done waiting for you to change,

For you to show me that you're capable of love.

 

I deserve someone who doesn't make me wait,

Someone who shows me they care before it's too late,

I deserve someone who values my time,

And doesn't leave me waiting in a line.

 

So this is my declaration,

I'm done waiting for you,

I'm moving on and starting anew,

Because I deserve more than waiting for someone who can't be true.

 

I'm done waiting for a love that's not real,

For a person who can't see how I feel,

I'm done waiting for a future that's u

nclear,

I'm done waiting, I'm letting go, I'm no longer here.
