I search for a face
I search for a soul
Not as damaged as yours, but just as vibrant
Not as beautiful as your despair, but just as poignant
My love, I fail to look
My love, I fail to try
As I put my efforts forward, my soul drags me down
As I will myself to start, my heart turns away
I do not long for praise
Nor do I long for a stranger’s embrace
I long for sense of acceptance
I long for sense of belonging
I long for the home I found in your arms
My love, this journey without you has been too long
My love, I wonder if I can ever truly come back home
