SEARCHING

SEARCHING

Looking, looking into others eyes.
Searching, searching everywhere.
Waiting for your return.

Your presence engulfs me,
giving peace and comfort.
Waking knowing dread is upon me,
wanting dreamland so we can chat.

Frustration and helplessness
cannot see, hear or touch you.
Where are you, my Angel
I do not know.

Patiently waiting for death
to claim me.
Being with you is what I dream
and wish for as I search.

Watching the door,
waiting, waiting, waiting.
Looking out the window,
hoping, hoping, hoping.

Longing to hear you call
my name.
Wanting to feel you touch
on my face.

Wipe away my tears,
and mend my broken heart.
The pain is so severe,
only you can make it right.

Searching, searching, searching
forever I will be searching.
Where are you, my Angel
I do not know.

My Angel,
when can you come home?
I am still searching and
I will find you.
