The Woman Who Waits

The woman waits

As she picks up her knife

The woman waits

As she contemplates her life

The woman waits

She checks it again

The woman waits

Nothing happens, then

The woman waits

No one has messaged her

The woman waits

She just wants to make sure

The woman waits

As her phone starts to buzz

The woman smiles

When they called her just 'cause.
