I Await

I have looked, and looked quite deeply
I am empty, there is nothing inside me
Yet out there, somewhere, I can hear it
It is like a voice in the air shouting at me
Shouting, like a whisper, a demented croak
But no matter how hard I look, I see naught
There is blackness all around me
But I know, what I know, what I know
That no matter what, where or when
For all my sins I must atone
That it matters not where I go
No hiding place is safe for me
So I beg you my love, come rescue me
Spread your wings my love and rise
For only through your love will it come
My hope, my salvation, my very soul
It is up to you my darling, my hope
I await you within this self exposed exile
