Call of Blood

Unsettled in your absence
Torn with indecision
I do not know where I go
I cannot speak or think
Without your face before me
I cannot fathom words
Or comprehend the clearest voice
All I hear is my body's aching,
Calling, blood calling blood
Where are you my love
Who never knew my heart
Or knows too well
And stays away
One look and I am lost
One deep and longing glance
A thousand miles deep
A thousand years deep
Why so late
Did you find me
Why so late
When I am bound
Please release me into your arms
Let me journey into your eyes
Let me drown in peace
