Analysis of Longing
Here I lie down
Longing for you
Longing for a love
I want to believe is true
A spiritual longing fraught with questions
After all my tears on this earth
Have I learned any lessons
After all my years since birth
Do I deserve any blessings
I long to believe
That you are what I have prayed for
I have lived a dangerous existence
Are you to blame for my breaths persistence
Is this the time
My time?
Our time?
