The Big Duck

No one is coming

I climbed the stairs alone

I was scared

But no one knew

I didn’t complain

I cried

and I cried

Because no one

was coming

And the plastic

big blue duck

just stared through me

But no one is coming

He was a little comforting

But I want the big brown teddy

that was for the baby

No one is coming

You don’t deserve it

You were acting rebellious

You were angry

You wanted

your grandparents

no one is coming

I am stilling hoping with each tear

Someone is coming
