Yearn
And I’m done with yearning,
I’ve prayed for your release.
Eternity denies me;
Despair I have
embraced.
I’ve tolerated living,
For decades I have wept.
Forced to forgo my reason, and fancy where I am.
Ignore despair so driven through ages it endures.
Quieting the echoes of disillusionment, despair.
Hope residing that I’ll find I haven’t lived in vain.
That Heavens worth the waiting, that Heavens worth the pain?
In bondage to existence,
E’ermore I remain,
Bound to mortal life, I’m here in-
Foolish petty, games!
Yet within the distance;
I long for the grave.
I’ve tolerated history…
Until it’s all I have.
I’ll not become a memory,
An echo of the past.
