• I sit alone
    On this hard wooden bench
    Waiting in this chill
    For him to come
    He told me he would
    He gave me his word
    But here still I wait
    At quarter past nine----
    We were to meet at eight----
    In this bitter chill
    Deep in my heart I know
    He’ll never come…
    Yet
    Here still I wait
    In this harsh, bitter cold
    On this hard wooden bench
    Alone
