Unreturned

Why can’t you see me?

I’ve been standing here
Next to you
And I have a fear
A logic overdue

Why can’t you hear me?

I’ve been screaming
To let you know
You’re just dreaming
Of the mortal deep below

Why can’t you understand?

When I was there
I thought of you
So I wait here
But you’re long overdue

Why can’t I see you?

I feel a stirring
That I cannot ignore
Something’s occurring
I’m straying no more
