Searching

I search for you

Through the chaos of this life
I long to see your smiling face staring back at me
Every day I wait for you
Have you disappeared with no return?

I am here
Behind a mask of sorrow
Trying to break free from the chains that bind me
Every day I see you searching in the mirror
You cannot find me there, for I am no longer the person you see

I will search for you
Down the deepest ocean to the highest peak
You are not lost, but deep within
I shall work until you are free of burdens that hide you from me

I am here
