my heart longs for you

this ache within my soul
refuses to rest
this god-shaped hole deep inside of me
i've tried to suppress
with all the temporary trappings
the shiny sparkle of fool's gold
they only leave me broken breathless
naked in the bitter cold
and in the dust of this rubbled ruin
the truth revealed, crystal clear
my heart is yearning quivering craving
pining breaking desperately aching
my heart longs for you
daddy my heart longs for you.

*edit 6/10/05* last night i was challenged to not only long and yearn after my creator, but to envision that the one who created me is longing even more desperately to know me.
out of this challenge, a second verse was born: dad's response to my plea. take it as you will.

it breaks my heart to see
what you're going through
watching as you struggle on your own
it tears me in two
you only wanted your own freedom
but now you're bound in all these chains
i wish that you would let me help you
heal your heart and ease your pain
and when the dust and the lies all scatter
the truth is clear: i'm still here
and my heart is yearning desperately aching
craving pining passionately breaking
my heart longs for you
dear child my heart longs for you
