Searching For Love

For love my heart hunts,
From the ground up to the sky.
At night I sleep alone.
My aching heart asks "Why?"

I search the land.
I search the sea.
I look to the night sky
So the stars can hear my plea.

No love by sunlight,
And none under the moon.
My soul is sick; my heart is pierced.
I will grow tired soon.

For love my heart hunts,
And always in vain.
I will grow tired soon,
Still stuck in endless pain.
