Longing for connection

In silence, I suffer, ignored and alone My heart cries out for you, but you don't call me home I yearn for your attention, a glance, a gentle word But indifference surrounds me, a heavy, hollow chord Your blindness to my love, a constant, gnawing pain I'd sacrifice everything, but you can't see the love I sustain I'm lost in the shadows, while you shine so bright Unaware of the depths, of my devotion's light Oh, how I wish you'd see, the love I hold inside A boundless, endless sea, where you reside But like a ship without anchor, I drift and roam Searching for a connection, a place to call home In your eyes, my heart beats, my soul finds rest But until you see me, I'm forever unrest Longing to be seen, to be heard, to be known By the one I love, who makes my heart a home.
