The Long Game

This game
has taken so long
one's likely to forget
that they've even
been playing it
But I just can't wait
for the cards to be laid
out on the table
I can't wait to show you
what I've got waiting
what all the anticipating
has been building for
I want this to sink deep
so it'll weather the storm
If you haven't heard
the warnings by now
I don't know how
you'll expect
to survive it
The driving rains
and roaring winds
that we all know
are coming
the watchmen
have been drumming
their warnings
for long enough
that this day would arrive
