you said you would

i watched numbers the whole afternoon
column of sales figures
the time on my cellphone
the tv channels
the time at the corner of my laptop
the list of bills
the time on the wall clock

you said you would
but you didn't

and i guess you needed to rest
as did i

but you said you would
so i waited

i know it will not always be rosy
i know the hurt will come
and that's what i'm afraid of

and you said you would
except you didn't
and now i hurt
