Suspicion
Whispers and glances
Phone calls cut short
Lame explanations
Secrets and lies
Small variations
Brief conversations
Hurried altercations
Some deviations
Watching and waiting
Dread and foreboding
Panic in my gut

The Waiting Room
Tick tock, tick tock
Said the clock
On the wall.
Tick tock, tick tock.
The wait was
Interminably,
Intolerably
Long.
Tick tock, tick tock.
The seat was
Terribly,
Unbearably
Hard.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Waiting with
Anticipation,
Trepidation
To hear her name.
