Come Home to Me

A lifetime wandering alone in the wilderness of life.

Forced to find strength within, betrayed and let down.

Finding comfort in growing isolation, wounded and scared.

Why must we struggle alone, weary from our battles?

Come home to me

I see you, across the room, across the world.

Weary traveler, tired and cold.

We find each other’s eyes, but it could not be.

How do we overcome the doubt left by our wounds?

Come home to me

Given up on hope, of finding the shelter of love.

Afraid of pain, tasting bitterness of memories.

Surviving on a dream, just out of reach.

Why must love elude us?

Come home to me
