you said you would return in just a bit

you said you would return in just a bit
and so I waited for you patiently
for seven heavy hours I did sit

you didn't think to honestly admit
your other plans which did not include me
you said you would return in just a bit

and i assumed a fiteen minute flit
still dressed, by window sill, so i could see
for seven heavy hours I did sit

your smile did not my angry mood befit
when finally you called to visit me
you said you would return in just a bit

and in a bit you came, you said, with wit,
and what's a bit to you, dear, honestly?
for seven heavy hours I did sit

and now, at midnight, huffing in a fit
i tear off day-long clothes disgustingly!
you said you would return in just a bit
for seven heavy hours I did sit
