Waiting

This is a poem I wrote in 2016. I imagine all of my poetry set to music but I am rarely able to come up with my own tunes. This poem I imagine set to the tune of One by U2.

I've seen your mercy
I've experienced your generosity
I lack no faith in your greatness
I know I'll soon be set free
You give me hope
In that coming happy day
But knowing the distant future
Can't ease my present pain
 
How long to wait
Until I win?
Your love is endless
But does it begin?
It's too late
I need help fast
Nothing that happens now
Can make up the past
 
You rescue me from danger
You protect and you provide
But who will save me
From who I am inside?
You promise me paradise
So I can live with you
But how can it be Heaven
If I must be there to?
 
How long to wait
Until I win?
Your love is endless
But does it begin?
It's too late
I need help fast
Nothing that happens now
Can make up the past
 
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah
 
I've learned when to make an effort
I've learned when to step away
Then I learned that
The rules change every day
I've learned to be patient
I've learned to prioritize
I trust that you will answer
But you only deliver hollow lies
 
You hide
Yourself from me
You grant me countless blessings
But you hold back what I most need
You give me it all
And extras too
You send your well-wishes
But what I need is you
 
My body breaks
My mind is gone
My heart is dark
Because you took too long
I'll wait for you
And I'll wait some more
Even now I know
That it's you I adore
 
How long to wait
Until I win?
Your love is endless
But when does it begin?
It's too late now
I need help fast
But nothing that happens now
Can ever make up for the paaaaaaaast
 
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah
 
Patience
Has run dry
Forgot how to laugh
Even forgot how to cry
My life
Is done
I breathe my last
And you say I've just begun
 
Is this
The end?
Every time it's over
I go around around again
Is this
My fate?
Never satisfied
Forever to waaaaaaaaaait
