I Wait Like A Bucket

I wait like a bucket
Yearning for water
Being full
Of you

Curled up tightly
Like a chameleon's tongue
Waiting
For you

Standing to attention
At the curtain call
Applauding
You

Scanning your cigarettes
Through the till
Serving
You

Proud as a peacock
Holding your hand
To say
I do

Each morning’s rise
You will see
That familiar reflection
Destiny
