I left my eyes at the door, patiently waiting your return...
I stand await,
By the road
That led you away.
I prayed.
I hoped,
That you'd come this May.
I slept
By the sea,
Wishing the waves bring you back.
I left my eyes
At the door,
Patiently waiting your return.
I journeyed North,
Through South;
Perhaps the Eastern wind blew you West.
I tarried
In my dreams,
Hoping to find you in Wonderland.
I flew the skies
Without wings;
Walking on the clouds.
Overland,
In the sea,
I google-searched.
The highest heights,
The deepest depth,
My spirit went.
My soul faints,
My mind weeps,
My body watches my bones break.
"Who has seen my Bride?"
I chant through Genesis,
Anxiously anticipating the Revelations.
