You never arrive

[Following poem was written in just 10 minutes. Yay! :D  
 Prompt was the title itself.]

You never arrive

Fish on the table

Just the way you like it

I eat now to remain alive

But you never arrive

Beer in my hand

Clean water in the pool

Alone I hate to dive

But you never arrive

Weeds I just uprooted

Ron playing in the lawn

You loved to water the soil

But you never arrive

Files on the desk form a heap

Reminding of promises I have to keep

I try to find a meaning to survive

But you never arrive

Tears in my eyes back then

"Don't go to the war, John!" I had cried

Rest assure my hope won't die

But you never arrive
