Missing My Beloved

The night is lonely and uncertain without you
I long to see your face as you admire me
To hear your sweet voice that I associate with love
To feel your tender touch upon my skin

The separation is painful beyond compare
And I weep alone in the hills that understand
My knight is missing so I reach out in the night
But you do not hear me calling out your name

I wish to lay a gentle hand upon your shoulder
I wish to comfort you and bring you close
The wrongs laid upon you are unfair to be sure
If I could take away your pain I certainly would

I wish to take up your burden and relieve you
And I will continue to walk these hills until I find you
My beloved, I offer you my heart in love and care
All you need to do is look up, and I will be there

Have we not paid a high enough price
For the hurt that others cause without concern
Can we not find comfort again in each other’s arms
Can we not return to our loving home
