The Ache Of Waiting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EFGH IIJJ KLMM NNOP AQRQ

I look to the heavens in quiet pleaA
asking the stars to remember meA
to send one soul gentle and trueB
who will choose my heart the way I choose youB
-
I'm tired of loving in borrowed waysC
of holding on through lonely daysC
on giving warmth then standing aloneD
pretending my aching heart is stoneD
-
Do stars really listen when we whisper our wishesE
or is believing meant only for childrenF
Let us not pretend love is not a gameG
it's fragile hope we carry through the painH
-
As we whisper our dreams into the thin airI
the stars keep shining unawareI
When will it ever be my turnJ
How many tables of heartbreak must I earnJ
-
I keep on wishing on the star above like a child asking for a giftK
knowing I'm too old for fairytales yet still begging for thisL
to be chosen to be held without fearM
to love without wondering when it will disapperM
-
So if the skies are listening stillN
if mercy bends to human willN
let love find me soft and kindO
a home a hand a heart that's mineP
-
And if love comes only when I'm emptyA
when event dreams refuse to stayQ
let it find me wandering the darkR
asking the night where hearts decayQ

Poet's note: This poem is about longing for a real, lasting love. It shows the struggle of giving love and feeling alone, while still hoping that someone gentle and true will choose the heart fully. It explores the tension between doubt and hope—questioning whether love and wishes really reach the stars—but also shows resilience and the desire to keep believing. Ultimately, it’s about wanting to be loved safely, to love without fear, and to find a connection that feels like home, even after heartbreak and loneliness.
