A Lifetime

It was dark.

She thought she could do more instead of waiting,
but she had to be paient for her.

... she loved her after all.

It's funny how those things work out.

Wanting what you can't have,
Wanting something you've never wanted before,
Wanting a woman when all she's had were men.

It was dark.
And cold.
And down right miserable.

Is she miserable?
Is THIS what it is?

Suddenly there was panic but the lady in question is used to panic.
They hate her at first,
Then they can't live without her,
Then they move on.

So it goes,
she is still waiting.

Scared,
Hungry for her.

Death enters.
The sound of wings.

"Is it...?"
"Time?" Death smiles. Death smiles? What? "Yes. It is."
"But... you shouldn't I've been here for so long and I haven't got-"
"You get what every one gets. You get a lifetime."
... The sound of wings.
